Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki translated into English literally means “divine energy”. Rei meaning divine, spirit or soul and Ki meaning vital energy or consciousness. Reiki is a Japanese technique used for stress reduction, which produces a calming effect over the body, promoting healing on every level of the being. A hands-on technique is used to funnel universal energy to the person receiving treatment to help boost their own life force energy. If one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, health and happiness are more easily accessible.

The best analogy for what Reiki is and how it can help in your life is imagining your car battery dies (pretty easy to imagine in Alberta where it’s cold). Typically when this happens, you get some jumper cables and attach them to a friend’s car. Then, you attach those cables to your car in order to boost your battery and get it running again. This is essentially how Reiki works. Your life force battery is down (energy running low) and needs a boost so the universal energy is coming from “your friend’s car” with the Reiki practitioner being the jumper cables to transmit it to you.
