- 10. Reiki Definition The word“Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). Reiki is a complementary health approach in which practitioners place their hands on or just above different areas of the body. It’s based on an Eastern medicine belief that living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality.
- 11. Reiki Definition (2) “…apowerful yet subtle healing practice used as a support for wellness on a body, mind and spiritual level. It is offered through non-invasive, light touch to a clothed client on a massage table. Reiki energy work helps to restore balance, increase energy flow, improve sleep and relieve pain. One of the greatest benefits of Reiki is stress reduction and relaxation which triggers the body’s natural healing abilities.” University of Maryland School of Medicine Center for Integrative Medicine
- 12. Origin of Reiki Dr.Mikao Usui - founder of Reiki ~1922 Dr. Usui attended his own training rediscovery course in a cave on Mount Kurama. For 21 days, Dr. Usui fasted, meditated and prayed. On the morning of the twenty-first day, Dr. Usui experienced an event that would change his life forever. He saw ancient Sanskrit symbols that helped him develop the system of healing he had been struggling to invent. Usui Reiki was born.
- 13. Origin of Reiki Dr.Chujiro Hayashi Dr. Usui taught several Reiki masters to ensure that his system would not be forgotten. Among them was Dr. Chujiro Hayashi. Dr. Hayashi is credited with further developing the Usui system of Reiki by adding hand positions to more thoroughly cover the body. Dr. Hayashi also changed and refined the attunement process.
- 14. Origin of Reiki HawayoTakata Dr. Hayashi trained several more Reiki Masters, including a woman named Hawayo Takata. Mrs. Takata was a Japanese-American woman who originally went to Dr. Hayashi for healing. Upon learning the system herself, Mrs. Takata took Reiki home to the United States. ~1936 Before he died, Dr. Hayashi managed to impart all of Dr. Usui’s teachings onto Mrs. Takata. She continued to practice Reiki for many years. When she died, she had attuned 22 Reiki masters.
- 15. Example Session Reiki session~45-60 min Reiki is offered through light, non-invasive touch with the practitioner's hands placed and held on a series of locations on the head and front and back of the torso. The hand positions generally follow the chakra points but not required. At the conclusion of the energy healing portion of the session, energetic grounding is conducted to complete the session.
- 16. Distance Reiki sessions Themojo for a distance reiki session is the Distance Healing Symbol The practitioner makes a remote connection to the client using the distance healing symbol - the session proceeds the same as in person session after making the connection
- 17. Reiki Levels The FirstDegree (Shoden) Level 1 is a practitioner's initiation into reiki and is open to anyone. The focus during Level 1 is on opening the energy channels on a physical level, allowing the practitioner to connect to the universal life force energy, which flows from the cosmos through the crown of the head and down to the heart and hands. TLDR; Self Reiki
- 18. Reiki Levels The SecondDegree (Okuden) Level 2 gives students the skills to practice reiki on others and open energy channels more deeply. Students also receive their symbols during this level. There are five symbols in reiki and each one corresponds to a specific energy (power, harmony, distance, mastery, and completion). TLDR; Reiki for others
- 19. Reiki Levels The ThirdDegree (Shinpiden) & Reiki Master The Reiki Master Level is traditionally considered the teacher's level, and masters are able to walk away and attune new reiki practitioners. TLDR; Mastery / Teach and attune others

- 25. But what isReiki really?
- 26. It’s all aboutthe energy
- 27. And your connectionto the Universe* We’ve lost our connection to the Universe We’ve lost our knowing that we and everything are energy (in motion) We’ve lost our knowing that we are all interconnected (Law of One) Reiki allows us to feel and work with energy, even across distances, reminding us our healing abilities, movement of energy, and that everything on the planet is alive and interconnected * or whatever you call it
- 30. Healing? What happens for“healing” Practitioner gives off a frequency vibration of “healing” Client decides/intends to match that frequency. If they do - they can be “healed” or experience relief for a period of time In general Reiki is not a “one and done” thing but it can be (depends on client) Practitioner is the guide|signal generator but the client actually allows/does the work
