What is Reiki? How does it Heal?

The word Reiki is composed of two Japanese words-Rei and Ki. When translating Japanese into English, we must keep in mind that an exact translation is difficult. The Japanese language has many different levels of meaning. The context of the word must be kept in mind when attempting to discern its meaning. Because these words are used in a healing context, a Japanese/English dictionary does not provide the depth of meaning we seek. As an example, Rei is often defined as ghost and Ki as vapor and while these words vaguely point in the direction of the meaning we seek, they fall far short of the understanding that is needed.

When seeking a definition in a more spiritual context, we find that Rei can be defined as the higher intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the universe. Rei is a subtle wisdom that permeates everything. This subtle wisdom guides the evolution of all creation ranging from the unfolding of galaxies to the development of life. On a human level, it is available to help us in times of need and to act as a source of guidance in our lives. Because of its infinite nature, it is all knowing. Rei is also called God and has many other names depending on the culture that has named it.

Ki is the non-physical energy that animates all living thing. Ki is flowing in everything that is alive including plants, animals, and humans. When a person's Ki is high they will feel stong, confident, and ready to enjoy life and take on its challenges. When it is low, they will feel weak and more likely to get sick. We receive Ki from the air we breathe, from food, from sunshine, and from sleep. It is also possible to increase Ki by breathing exercises and meditation. Ki is also the Chi of China, the prana of India, the Manna of the Hawaiians, and has also been called the Odic force, orgone, bioplasma, and life force.

It must be understood that the mind exists not only in the brain, but also throughout the body. The nervous system extends to every organ and tissue in the body and so the mind exists here also. It is also known that the mind extends outside the body in a subtle energy field 2 to 3 feet thick called the aura. Because of this, it is more appropriate to call our mind a mind/body as the mind and body are so closely linked.

Our negative thoughts are just not in the brain, but also collect in various locations throughout the body and in the aura. The places where negative thoughts and feelings collect is where Ki is restricted in its flow. The physical organs that exist in these locations are restricted in their functioning. If negative thoughts and feelings are not eliminated quickly, illness results.
