Reiki - Seichem

Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Energy. Rei means Universal, Holy or Spirit and Ki means (life) energy or nature.
Reiki is a healing method where this life energy is passed on by hands-on-healing.

In the past hands-on-healing and touch was a normal thing in our culture. Nowadays it is only used without being conscious of it. When you have pain you automatically put your hand to where it hurts. If a child hurts his knee, you comfort him by putting your hand on his knee or by giving it a kiss. If someone is sad then you comfort them often by touch, like giving the person a hug. In fact by touching you give them warmth, peace, attention and love.

In our modern day culture and its hectic lifestyle we often have very little time for ourselves. We hardly have the time to get in touch with our emotions, let alone that we dare ask for love and warmth from others. Unknown to ourselves we tend to put our tension and stress to the background. In this way blockages occur in the body which lead to dis-ease and ill health. Of course other factors also play a role in this like hereditary factors, eating habits, smoking, drinking alcohol and environmental pollution. Depending on the character/personality and the way of life led; everybody has their own unique areas in their body where emotions are hidden away.

Healing means making complete, the recovery of the person as a whole, the balance between body and spirit, and the connection between the individual and other life on earth. The energy of Reiki can help you relax and bring the unconscious tension in your body to the surface. Reiki is an aid for the blockages to be removed, so the life energy flows as it should and your body can heal itself. With a bit of experience and time you learn to listen to the signals your body gives to you. You learn how to control or work with your own emotions.

Reiki does not cure, that's something your body still does by itself. By getting regular healing treatment or by treating yourself for a few minutes every day will strengthen the bond with the life energy/force and the world around you. You'll feel healthier, more balanced and more complete. In this way you're life will feel enriched, you'll experience life at a more concious level, you'll be more confident about yourself and you will also be more in touch with other peoples emotional states. This energy feeds and heals our body and connects us with each other. It ensures that we feel everything that is alive, and we can pass on this energy to others. We are connected through the universal life energy. In fact Reiki is as old as the universe and all of nature revolves around and uses this energy. You can (learn to) feel the energy of Reiki: as a tingling, as warmth and sometimes as a cool flow of energy.
                   
You can imagine Reiki as a flow of energy that is sent through your whole body. If there is a blockage either physically, mentally, emotionally or even spiritually it will have an effect on this flow of energy. If we were to deal with every issue in our lives, say all that we think and feel, feel good about ourselves, then the energy will flow through our body easily.
With all the stress of modern times this energy flows with less ease through the body. A day in the country with the sun on our faces, a walk along the beach or a day out gives a temporary good feeling. Often the problem lies deeper thann what a day out can resolve. Reiki goes deeper to the blockage in the body and to the causes of the stress.
