Written by Sophia Russell
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word. Rei means “universal wisdom” and Ki means “life energy”. Reiki is therefore vital life energy guided by universal wisdom. It is a powerful tool for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing and greatly enhances personal growth.
Ki energy is the vital flowing force contained in all life. Reiki can be used to treat anything on any level and is an effective method of maintaining a balanced well-being. Reiki is universal and is not connected to any religion or belief system, but embraces and enhances all such beliefs, bringing greater understanding and clearer direction. All that is needed to receive the Reiki energy is the desire to do so.
We all have a basic psychological need to look after our minds and bodies. This is one of the prime directives of our unconscious minds and mentioned in the list of basic needs identified by the Human Givens Institute
It stands to reason that we have evolved this as a psychological driver. If we were not intrinsically designed to look after ourselves then surely, as a race, we could not survive. This drive exists across the natural world, every living thing lives with the overall drive to survive physically and mentally (within its capacity to do so).
What is amazing is the extent to which we, as humans, appear to push against this need!
