Most people who are familiar with Reiki know that it is a popular form of energy healing. This complementary therapy and spiritual practice was originally developed by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui about a century ago. It has since been adapted by various teachers of varying traditions.

The Japanese word reiki compounds the words rei, meaning spirit, miraculous or divine, and ki, meaning gas, vital energy, breath of life, or consciousness.

Reiki assists the body with healing itself by directing the natural energy flow of the body, and its energy field, to the places where it needs a higher charge of positive energy. Reiki clears, straightens, and heals the energy pathways which then allow your body’s life force to flow in a healthy and more natural way.

What some people may not know about Reiki is that it can also be performed long-distance for the benefit of anyone, anywhere in the world, as well as in the past and future.

Reiki energy can be sent to large groups of people, or to a country in need of positive energy.

Reiki can be administered in advance to help soothe and calm a person. For example, Reiki can be sent to invoke protection, to help one focus before taking a test, or to calm nerves during a job interview.

Reiki can also be sent to heal something in your past, to the past of others, as well as into the past lives of yourself and others.

Reiki can help one connect more effectively with the soul of any person, animal, cell, organ, situation, entity or consciousness. It can also be sent as an exchange of healing to spiritual light beings, ascended masters, angels and guides.

Reiki can even be sent to a stubborn car that won’t start, or any inanimate object that is giving one trouble. The uses for Reiki are endless and truly remarkable. But the best thing about Reiki is that anyone can learn to use it!
