Reiki Healing Practice By Marie Chilton, Reiki Master
What is Reiki? Literally translated Rei means 'universal' and ki means 'energy'. What does universal energy have to do with healing?
The simple answer is plenty. Everything in the universe is made of energy: rocks, trees, oceans, our bodies. When the energy in our bodies flows freely we feel healthy. When our energy is blocked or not flowing freely we experience disease or dis-ease.
Reiki is a healing method that uses the universal energy to get the energy moving freely again. There are seven major 'meridians' or channels in the body that energy flows through. In addition to those there are seven energy 'centers'.
A Reiki practitioner helps the energy move freely in the channels and the centers, creating wonderful feelings of relaxation and returning the body to a state of ease and in turn health. The process is simple to learn and easy to use. Reiki can be used on people, pets or plants.
