Effect of Reiki Healing Technique

REIKIIS GODS LOVE IN ITS PUREST FORM IT IS COMPLETELY UNCONDITIONAL IT DEMANDS NOTHING OF THE GIVER NOR OF THE RECEIVER. IT PROPOUNDS NO CREED OR DOGMAIT REQUIRES NO SPECIFIC BELIEF IN THE SUPREME BEING OR IN REIKI ITSELF. Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese energy healing modality using touch to bring balance to the body mind and soul. It has been used for stress reduction relaxation and for the promotion of healing. The technique involves the light laying on of hands on the body in a series of ordered positions in correlation to the seven major Chakra centers of the human body (See Appendix 1) (Rand 1991). Reiki originated in the Tibetan Sutras nearly 3000 years ago and was reintroduced in Japan in the early 1900s by Dr. Mikao Usui. One Reiki master Takata who was practicing Reiki in Hawaii in the 1930s was responsible for its spread to the United States in the 1970s (Wardell 2001). In Japanese Rei means universal; however this interpretation is general because Japanese ideograms have many levels of meaning. Ki means life energy or universal life force.
