Edmonton Reiki

Reiki is a term used to describe the healing modality that accesses and transmits energy from one person to another. Reiki as a healing instrument operates through the concept that there is an unlimited supply of Universal Life Energy available for us to tap into, and then to share with others. Reiki is derived from two Japanese syllables, rei and ki. Rei represents the source of this energy and ki represents the energy’s movement around us. Ki is the Japanese term that refers to the life force, or living energy that connects us to everything and sustains our life breath.

Reiki is a healing modality that is gentle and nature, and heals on the principle that the person wants to heal on both a conscious and a subconscious level. Some of the types of conditions or feelings that Reiki has been successful in treating or relieving are shown below. This is a very short list and only serves as an example. It is important to understand that there is no guarantee what Reiki will or will not accomplish. Healing energy is channeled through the practitioner, but it has to be received and accepted to be effective.

The process of attunement or initiation is what sets Reiki part from every other form of laying on of hands or touch healing. It creates the healer. Each attunement increases the ability to channel Ki (Chinese Chi, Indian Prana). It opens abilities not previously there.

The first degree involves learning one symbol, for physical healing. The second degree teaches two symbols, one for emotional and mental healing and the other for long-distant or absentee healing and the healing of karmic and past life patterns. The Advanced level teaches one symbol that is used for life path and spiritual healing, and The Master Degree involves learning the Master symbol that is used to pass attunements to students.

In a Reiki session, you will keep their clothes on and you will either lay down (preferably on a massage table), or you can even have Reiki administered while sitting in a chair. The practitioner’s hands will be placed on, or over your body, where your chakras (energy centers) exist. You may feel the practitioner’s hands warm up in certain places and that means you are taking in life force energy.

Reiki is a gentle, non-instrusive way to experience healing. Many Reiki practitioners and Reiki Masters exist throughout Alberta, and it is a viable, inexpensive way to take charge of your own health and wellness.
