Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy. Rei means Universal. Ki means vital life force energy. It is an energy that is in and around every living thing. The concept and practice of Reiki is thousands of years old.

So what is it really? Well, it’s a form of meditation and relaxation that helps to move energy from the practitioner to the client to balance the energy within the client. The practitioner is a conduit for the energy. Intent is a giant key to Reiki. Reiki is NOT a religion, nor is it associated with any religion. Heck, you don’t even have to believe in it for it to work. Plus, it’s in you anyway. Science has already proven that.

Reiki is all natural, and does no harm. You can’t use intent to harm somebody with it. Try and the Reiki simply either will do its own thing, or it will not flow at all. On that note, you can’t truly direct it, either. You can give Reiki with the intent for it to say heal a headache, but if the body has something more pressing needing that Reiki, it’ll go there first. It’s smart!

Reiki is very gentle. You don’t need to physically touch somebody to provide Reiki to them. This is great for people that have open wounds, rashes, or just don’t like to be touched. Small children and animals tend to respond very well.

Reiki is a wonderful and powerful healing tool. It can help you to relax and be calmer. You heal better when you are relaxed. It can help the energy in your body run smoother. After all, we are electric beings. We keep batteries primed, why not ourselves?

It is possible to Reiki charge items for your use. When you charge your everyday items with Reiki, you get a bit of that Reiki when you use the item. The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can charge, too. Charge up the entire room and have a nice, relaxing place to hang out. Charge your food to help your body absorb the nutrients and to counter the not so good stuff in it. Charge your lotion and get a session every time you use it. If you can touch it, you can charge it up.

Here’s an example of charging something with Reiki that I’ve done. Take something that your child sleeps with. It could be a pillow, blanket, or toy. Anything, really. Charge it with Reiki. Really zap it good. Use the intent of sleep in it. This can really help a restless child, or one that has bad dreams. It tends to help them get to sleep a little faster, stay asleep a little longer. Remember, when they use the item, they get a Reiki treatment, so it can also keep them a little healthier.
