1. (noun) The energy channelled by Reiki practitioners.
2. (verb) A process of passively channelling the
basic energy that underlies material existence (somewhat comparable to the concepts of chi and prana) into a recipient or recipients to facilitate their self-healing and wellbeing.
Reiki is distinguished from other healing energy techniques because practitioners are taught through a ritualistic attunement process involving supernatural entities, and because the energy has its own intelligence.
Modern Reiki was developed in
Japan by a
man called Mikao Usui, but its true origins have been clouded by
politics and religious bigotry.
1. "Would you like some Reiki?"
2. "If you are ready to change, I'll Reiki your pain away"
3. The
force?
"My ally is the force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it; makes it grow. Its' energy surrounds us and binds us . . . You must feel the force around you; here, between you, me, the
tree, the rock; everywhere..." (Yoda)
