Basic Reiki Information
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a healing modality that originated in Japan in the late 1800′s with Dr. Mikau Usui.
The word “Reiki” is of Japanese origin and refers to the Universal Life Force. The name
originates from the Japanese concepts of REI (spirit) and KI (life force, energy).
Reiki has also been described as the Japanese word for “universal energy” and within
traditional Eastern healing focuses on the “KI” (also known as ”Qi”, “Chi”, or “Prana”) as
a method of bringing the life force energy back into balance.
Everyday stress, environmental toxins, addictions, etc. negatively impact the flow of the
“KI” or life force energy. Reiki healing works to re-balance the subtle energies, which in
turn will increase feelings of well being, reduce stress, and promote good health.
In essence, Reiki is a method of harnessing the Universal Life Force that exists within
us, in the world around us and in all living creatures, and using this energy to heal
ourselves and others. Indeed, since everything is energy and made up of the same
elements, some believe this life force exists in everything, whether we deem it to be
“living” or not.
Reiki energy healing restores harmony to negatively impacted areas of the body by
flowing through these areas in the energy field and charging them with positive energy to
restore harmony.
We are all born with the natural ability to use the universal life force for healing. Reiki is a
wonderful way to cultivate this natural ability.

Another way to balance the chakras is to use a pendulum and crystal method. The
pendulum is used as a diagnostic tool – to see if the chakras are open and if they are
accepting energy. The basic way this works is for you to simply let your pendulum hand over each of the chakras. This method is easiest to do on another person, and quite difficult to do on yourself.
Watch how your pendulum reacts as you hold it over each chakra. Use the chart on the
next page to see some general guidelines about what the movements of the pendulum
might mean. In general, you’re looking for a clockwise rotation from your pendulum as
you hold it over a chakra. This generally indicates a chakra that is open and accepting
energy.
If you get any other movement, you’ll
employ the crystal or feng shui ball to
encourage the chakra to open. Spin the
crystal ball over the chakra for a minute or
so. Check the chakra again with the
pendulum. It may be necessary to repeat
this process several times for each chakra
before it opens. We don’t know why this
method works; we only know that it does.
Why open the chakras? We believe that
an open chakra will accept the most energy thereby giving the Reiki recipient the
greatest benefit from the Reiki session.
