The power of reiki has caught the imagination of people all over the world today. The stressful and materialistic lifestyle of the present age has made more and more people turn to alternative therapies to relieve their tensions. Reiki is a proven technique of spiritual healing that has transformed the lives of millions of people.

This book aims to acquaint the reader with the origin, meaning and basic techniques of reiki. It offer valuable insights into the ways in which reiki can be used to heal the body and the mind.

Reiki, pronounced as Ray Key, is a natural system of hands in healing used since thousands of years. Reiki is a Japanese word comprising of two parts- Rei and Ki, and these are Japanese Kangi characters.

Rei means universal spiritual wisdom or consciousness-the wisdom that comes directly from God or the Higher Self. It is not only God-conscious but is also all knowing. It understands each person completely, with the root cause of the person’s problems and difficulties, and knows how to heal him.

Ki means the life force, and this is referred to by the Chinese as the chi, by the Indians as prana and by the Hawaiians as Mana. Anything that is alive has a life force circulating and surrounding it, but the life force departs when it dies.

When the life force is high and free-flowing, one is less likely to get sick, and vice versa. It animates the body and is also the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life. Ki is present all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind.

There is no doubt that Reiki energy is present everywhere. But one cannot learn Reiki healing by merely reading books because one has to be initiated as a Reiki channel or a healer by a Reiki Master. The attunement process is a sacred and secret one. It opens the psychic chakras in the body, and established a spiritual link between the student/channel and the Reiki source.
