What is Reiki?

Cho Ku Rei

All of my creations are infused with Reiki healing energy. What does that mean?

Everything in the universe is made of energy - vibration. Everything is living. A rock is vibrating at a much lower rate than a tree or a bird, yet, all are alive because everything is energy. A living body is warm and radiates energy. This energy is vital essence, the life-force, and has many names: Mana- in Polynesia, Prana- in India, Ch'i- in China, Ki- in Japan. It is the activating energy of the Universe.

Traditional Reiki began in Japan in the mid-1800s with Dr. Mikao Usui. There are 3 levels of Reiki practice. Reiki healers receive attunements from a Reiki Master- Level III. These attunements open and clear the body's energy channels of obstructions allowing more Ki or life energy to enter the body for healing of that individual and allows a connection to the source of all universal Ch'i or Ki. Everything has Ki, Reiki attunements connect the receiver to this limitless source of energy in an increased way. Connection to the Universal Source of Ki occurs when the healer places her hands on herself, a person or a thing and she becomes a channel for this healing life energy to flow through her. A Reiki-II practitioner, after receiving additional attunements that add considerable connection power to the healer, can provide healing for those not physically present.

It is important to note that the Reiki healer is not doing the healing, it is the receiver who is pulling the Ki through the Reiki healer as a channeler of this healing energy. The receiver's body and life force knows exactly where this additional Ki is needed and places it there.

Every stone or crystal from Mother Earth carries specific healing properties. It is my practice to infuse Reiki energy into my jewelry creations with the intent of boosting the healing properties of the stone or crystal used.
