About: Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".

So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Process: as a Channel of Reiki , one should be absolutely sure and convinced if he/she wants to become a channel for this particular person, channel must also be sure of the kind of exchange he/she wants as an exchange for the Reiki session. As a Channel it is the prime responsibility to satisfy all the queries of the person who is going to receive Reiki, before the Reiki session begins.

For the receiver, it is important to feel connected ,so that he/she can trust the channel fully. Receiver must be fully convinced to make the exchange asked for. The doubts and questions should be answered before the session begins.

In Reiki Practice , we actually just become channels of the universal life force energy and surrender our goals to it, from where this intelligent energy takes over and creates just the right environment for healing. It is difficult to express before hand ,as how much time it would take or which way it is going to provide the healing, because , the channel is not using his or her intelligence or energy . channel is merely becoming instrumental for the receiver to receive this energy. The Universal Energy is cosmic in nature , there fore needs a medium to work upon by nature, in most of cases, man adopts path after a lot of suffering. Be it physical disease or mental sufferings of myriad forms. At last, when rational science medicine fails to understand and cure problem people turn their wheels to spiritual path and many come out of it because a disease is nothing but a state of mind.

Key result areas: patients with Lung and Kidney failures, on ventilators came back home with in 10-12 days. We also have mental depression cases taking months to come out of their phases. It is very difficult to explain this, but as I said earlier this energy is an intelligent , unbiased , positive universal energy and takes its own action and provides the right environment for the receiver to heal and grow.
