Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, the energy which is all around us. Reiki, when activated and applied for purposes of healing, addresses the body, mind, emotions, and the spirit. It accelerates the body’s ability to heal physical ailments and emotional upset, releasing causes of dis-ease and pain. The joys of balanced wellness become apparent through Reiki as the student/patient begins to take responsibility for their own beliefs and realities. The Unlimited System of Reiki is a natural healing art which uses Reiki in these ways. Although Reiki is a means of working with energy that we cannot see, it requires no particular belief system. It is not a religion.
A Reiki treatment is a light, hands-on process whereby a Reiki practitioner transfers universal life force to the recipient, whether that is to the body of another or into one’s own body.
Reiki even works through bandages and casts and can be transmitted at a distance. The Reiki practitioner is a channel for the energy and therefore is not actually “doing” the healing. The receiver’s willingness and acceptance determines how much Reiki is received and the progress that is made in one's own healing process. Reiki can relieve pain and acute symptoms quite rapidly while more chronic problems may require extensive treatment. Length of treatment depends upon the root cause of the problem and the amount of energy needed to revitalize and bring into balance the ailing area of the body.
Reiki works in conjunction with and as an adjunct to medical and non-medical treatment and therapy and is NOT a substitute for medical and/or psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.
Reiki is a powerful way of contributing to and communicating with loved ones. For those wishing to contribute on a deep and profound level, Reiki is a wonderful way to nurture. Reiki is an incredible way to communicate at the heart-spirit level, and can be used to heal the past and present as well as to send healing energy into the future.
Receiving a Reiki treatment is a unique experience. You don’t have to be sick to receive the benefits. The practice of Reiki promotes metal clarity, emotional balance, warmth, comfort and general well being. Reiki accelerates healing, brings about a state of deep relaxation, and stimulates spiritual growth. A little bit of Reiki each day is a simple and effective way to manage daily stress and your own personal vitality.
Reiki is often learned in three distinct levels. At each level the student is “attuned” or awakened to the Reiki energy that is dormant within each of us. This awakening is done slowly so that the student is able to adapt to higher vibrational or energy levels necessary to perform Reiki. Students are given ample opportunity to practice their skills and learn to “read” the energy of others throughout the class time. The classes must be taken in order as they build on each other. You may, however, “skip” a level if you have taken Reiki from another Master/Teacher and have achieved certification at that level. You will need to show your certificate before enrolling in class as well as demonstrate an understanding and proficiency at your certified level.
The first level attunes the physical body. Many students report a mild “cleansing” of their physical body (often through an increased need for sleep and water) for a brief period of three days or so following class. Following the cleansing, students report improved sleep, greater vitality, and fewer aches and pains.
The second level awakens the emotional body, and often students report feelings of unconditional love, release and relief at this level.
The final or Master level aligns the spiritual body with the energy of Reiki. This generally creates a subtle sense of well-being and joy within the student. In the third level, students learn to pass attunements, and following an apprenticeship with Laura, are able to teach Reiki should they so desire.
Following the successful completion of each level, students are issued an official certificate recognizing them as having achieved the standards necessary to “practice” at that level. Students are encouraged to utilize their skills on a regular basis by participating in “Reiki Ways” in which they provide Reiki to others either through an exchange with other students or as community service.
Reiki Ways may be arranged through Laura. If your hospital, nursing home, counseling agency, cancer treatment facility, or other agency would like to host a Reiki Way at no charge, please contact Laura for details.
All levels of Reiki are taught over a two day intensive weekend. Back to Lodge Offerings
