Reiki is a well-grounded, down-to-earth spiritual discipline. Reiki transcends the mind, body and spirit into a higher realm so healing may occur. Change can only occur when we are in an altered state. Reiki creates an opportunity for healing to occur at a cellular level.

Reiki creates a deeper sense of peace and balance. Reiki connects us to our untapped inner resources. Our deepest connection is to spirit. Spirit is the source of all life.

Creating balance in our career and personal relationships and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are important for personal and spiritual growth. The process of meditation and healing through regular Reiki sessions are beneficial on all levels. We cannot expect to heal only one aspect of our being. Mind, body and spirit are one and the same. The physical condition is a manifestation of some aspect of our being that is out of balance.

Those individuals that pay attention to their inner voice are considered to be spiritual. It takes time, energy and inner work to create the awareness necessary to maintain health in spite of whatever is going on within the physical body. A person may have a heart condition, but live a long, healthy life by consciously making healthy lifestyle changes.

During these difficult times it is important to make positive connections. Change is the only constant in our lives. As we change and grow spiritually we become free from our past life experiences. The only moment we have any control over is the present moment.

Reiki is beneficial in creating the balance needed to accomplish and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As we become inner-connected, we allow spirit to be our guide. Therefore, be true to thyself and trust your intuition. Life is full of surprises. Be open and receptive to allow the shift in consciousness that is needed to create the life that you say you want. Trust in the power of your mind and soul to rise above limitations and explore the depth of who you truly are.

Reiki: An Ancient Healing Art

Reiki was created as a Spiritual healing practice. As a spiritual healing process it transcends the mental, emotional and physical realms. Regular Reiki sessions bring peace, harmony and balance to our daily lives.

Reiki is a non-invasive self-care and drug-free treatment. It stimulates the healing power between the mind/body connection. Reiki gives you exactly what you need, although sometimes it may not always be what you think you need.

Self-empowerment begins with a decision to choose a lifestyle that enhances one’s well being by stimulating your own healing power from within. Make a conscious decision to improve the quality of your life, resolve stress, increase energy and bring joy and balance into your life and your relationships.

Reiki practitioners are a conduit for vital universal energy. Reiki is transmitted in a form that is useable at the cellular level. Reiki will reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mental and emotional well-being by removing mental and emotional blocks.

Specific energetic patterns can be expressed as an illness or lack of ease in the physical body. A physical illness may have the symptoms of a greater imbalance that may not necessarily have a root cause in the physical body.

Holistic healing is an ongoing journey of self discovery. A healthy, more joyful lifestyle begins with living better, creating balance between our careers and personal relationships and striving for wholeness.

The Usui System of Reiki Healing

The Usui System of Reiki Healing is a hands-on healing art that was originated by Mikao Usui, a Japanese scholar, seeker, teacher and healer. He had a visionary experience of the life force, which he recognized as Reiki, a sacred Japanese concept representing spiritual power. He refined the forms, disciplines and the spiritual teachings, which are still passed on by masters in the Usui System of Reiki Healing.

The Usui System of Reiki Healing stimulates natural healing processes, improves mental discernment, restores emotional balance and evokes experiences of spiritual empowerment. It enhances the ability of persons to achieve and maintain the equilibrium essential to health. It is supportive, holistic and non-invasive. It is focused on the potential for wellness rather than illness. It is more oriented toward healing the whole person than toward alleviating specific symptoms.

Level I Training in the Usui System of Reiki Healing is available to anyone with an interest in and openness to the potential of energy healing practices. Students are taught its history and concepts, are introduced to the spiritual disciplines contained in its precepts and practices, and are taught the hand positions to use in the care of themselves and others.
