Reiki was "re-discovered" by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese, in the early 20th century. Dr Usui rediscovered how spiritual leaders as the Buddha and Christ were able to perform miraculous healing through mere touch without depleting their own energy reserves. A deep spiritual experience led him to devote several years to the study.
Reiki (pronounced as `ray-key`) is consists of two words—`rei` and `ki`. `Rei` means a higher form of intelligence while `ki` is the life force. Together, `reiki` is understood to be a kind of universal energy.
This system heals by raising the vibrations, of the being or object to be healed, nearer to that of the practitioner. It is a multidimensional energy healing system, which can heal the cause of a problem at any level of — body, mind, or spirit.
As Reiki is guided by God-Consciousness, it can never do any harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them.
Reiki is a system where the practitioner can do no harm
and
can make no mistakes!
