Reiki
What is Reiki?

    1.  Healing Energy. Reiki is simply Universal Life Energy that we as practitioners channel for healing body, mind, and spirit.
    2.  Soothing Energy.  It works on the body, mind, and spirit, producing calming effects.
    3.  Cleansing Energy.  It raises our vibration as it clears our energy field of debris and blockages that interfere with our growth.

Who Performs Reiki?

All healing comes from the same Divine source.  Reiki is one method with ancient Tibetan and Japanese roots whereby energy is   
transferred through  from a Reiki Master to a student/initiate.  It can be hands on or auric (just above the body in the auric   field).  Anyone
who has been attuned by a certified Reiki Master can practice Reiki.Three levels are taught in the traditional Usui Method of Natural
Healing (the type of Reiki I perform and teach).  First Degree focuses on the  physical attunement and physical healing and purpose/history
of the art.  Second Degree expands the Reiki energy, teaching sacred symbols   to   use for distance and emotional/psychologtical healing.  
Third degree, the Reiki Master level, enables practitioners  to teach and initiate  others.  It  raises one's vibration further to promote healing
of the self and others

Who Receives Reiki?

Reiki works on all living things (and even on inanimate objects, too).  Of course, people were the  initial Reiki clients,   but the energy
works wonders on all living things.  Plants and animals enjoy tremendous benefits from Reiki, and in my experience, even more than people
since they are neither skeptical of nor resistant to natural healing methods.  When I received my Reiki I training back in 1989, I didn't
realize how important it was until I came home that night to see my terminally
ill standard poodle in distress from  auto-immune intestinal diseased.  I  gave him Reiki energy, and within moments, the violent noises in his
belly subsided, and he fell into a calm sleep.  I knew then what would be my primary purpose as a Reiki practitioner and completed the
next two levels of training within a couple of years.  I have never been sorry.  I have had quite afew terminally ill canine  clients; it is truly a
gift for them as it eases the effects of stressful chemotherapy
and aggressive steroidal therapy.  It also eases the transition from this life to the next, for animals and people as well.Many hospice patients benefit
from Reiki in this regard.


How is it administered?

People receive Reiki treatments on a massage table.  The recipient lies on the table while the practitioner administers reikiat chakra points
or over the entire body and on areas that require particular attention.  We always start at the head (crown) as energy flows Often the client
will drift off in meditation or sleep while soft music plays in the background.

Can Anyone Learn?

YES!!!!  Reiki requires no prior experience or belief system. It is not confined to an elite few but meant for planetary healing and is   
therefore  accessible to everyone with an interest.  Anyone, regardless of spiritual background, training, religious conviction, or   intuitive
ability can be attuned  and practice Reiki.

This is my Severe Macaw receiving a Reiki treatment.  As soon as he feels the energy from
my  hand, his feathers ruffle and he drifts into his own private La-La Land.

A real talker, he made me so proud when  about a year after I brought him home, he asked
me, "Want Reiki?"
