The Reiki Eastern Style workshops combines the Reiki western style with the Japanese Reiki techniques.

Reiki, the simplest meaning in Japanese language is Universal Life Energy. Reiki is a powerful yet simple, safe and natural energy healing which can be learned by anyone to promote the body's own ability to heal itself. Good for stress release and relaxation. This technique is passed on in a sacred attunement process for the student to be able to channel Reiki. It is effective immediately and for life. A powerful healing experience and a path to enlightenment.

Introduction to Reiki
Reiki is a secular enlightenment system and healing system. In the west, it is primarily taught as a healing system. It allows you to heal self and others by laying on hands. It was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900's. Reiki is very easy to learn and easy to use, and anyone can do it. Reiki Healing is a process of being connected to the Reiki Energy through an attunement or empowerment. Using reiki is simply a matter of awareness of reiki and the expression of it is BEing Reiki. Healing is done either hands on, or by distance work.

Reiki is pronounced "ray-key". The word "Reiki" is made up of two separate kanji. "Rei", which means Universal or spiritual and "Ki" which is energy or life force. The most common definition of reiki is therefore "universal life energy".  Some say that it is life force energy that animates all life. This universal life energy is indescribable, in all things, everywhere. In doing and being reiki our awareness of it in the moment is the expression of reiki in healing, being, in whatever we are doing in that moment. The two Kanji taken together can also mean enlightenment. They represent the universal spiritual energy coming together with our own.

 "What is Reiki?"
Reiki is a healing system and an enlightenment system. In the west, most teach it solely as a healing system, although many have added in a plethora of new-agisms and other material to it. As a healing system, it is a form of healing that can be used both on yourself and others. Reiki is BEing this energy and healing.

I believe this energy is coming from GOD. Others see it as one "ray" of the "seven healing rays". Some think it comes from the "reiki guides". Still others try to define it in terms of physics. Many theories abound and none are any closer to the mark than any other theory. I will share with you that My way, is simply being the energy as we are the energy but not the source of it. To try to define reiki is like trying to grasp a handful of water, the tighter you grip the more that slips through your fingers. It would seem that attempts to grasp to any one meaning is to shut off experiencing reiki, as it is, in this moment. Just *be* reiki.

Reiki was described by Usui in his manual, "The Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai" as being "intuitive". It seems to go where needed, or flow in responce to the demand or need of the recipient. Takata taught that reiki goes to causes. It treats symptoms, but it goes to the root cause. I usually say that reiki is, exactly what needs to be done, in that moment.

It is commonly taught , that the energy enters the practitioner through the crown, and then down into the hara. The energy then goes out through the palms of the hands into the person receiving the reiki. Because of this, both the practitioner and recipient receive reiki during a treatment. Reiki can be used on yourself and on others. Giving or receiving Reiki is generally a peaceful and joyous experience.

Reiki is balance. It works on all levels, the physical, spiritual, and emotional levels. Reiki energizes and heals the body. Research studies have shown that it speeds wound healing time, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and is effective as part of a regime to manage pain. Anecdotal reports reveal that Reiki has cured serious illnesses. Reiki compliments other health care and medical treatments. Reiki speeds the healing process and can minimize the side effects of conventional medical treatments.

Reiki is not a religion. Neither is it a new age practice. It has been used by practitioners of Christianity, Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism, and Islam, and it is a spiritual practice that compliments any faith as a hands on healing practice.

In the Usui Reiki Hikkei (The Usui Reiki Handbook that Usui gave to his students) he states that, "My Reiki Ryoho is an original method based on intuitive power in the universe. By this power, body gets healthy and enhances happiness of life and peaceful mind".
