A Brief Introduction - What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of hands on healing which enables the healing of mind, body and spirit. Reiki means Universal Life Force (energy) and is pronounced Ray-key.

We are surrounded in this energy and the aim of Reiki is to draw on it and use it to restore the natural flow within our bodies. If this energy becomes blocked we are likely to become ill. Unblocking this energy helps maintain a healthy mind, body and spirit. The healer will lay their hands on or just above the body and draw this energy through themselves and into the recipient.

There are three stages of Reiki. First and Second degree Reiki then Reiki Masters, allowing development of healing ability.

As mentioned on my Home Page I have been taught both the traditions of the Western Reiki by many masters and the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Japan (Mikao Usui's Reiki Association) which have come to us through Frank Arjava Petter and Hiroshi Doi, and partly based on information coming from a group of Usui's surviving students, through Chris Marsh. I consider myself to be very privileged to have had all this information passed on to me by Reiki Master Taggart King, who I would like to thank for his support during my tuition as well as his continued support, and for sharing all this information with me. As new information arrives from Japan it will be passed to me by Taggart King.
