Reiki means universal life force, the essential energy of the universe. Reiki awakens our own natural healing power.
The word itself is made up of the Japanese words REI – meaning Universal or spiritually guided, and KI – the energy of life, that flows through all living things – the fundamental energy responsible for the body’s health and vitality.
How does Reiki promote healing?
Reiki balances our energy centers, boosts our immune system, and increases the flow of Chi, helping diseased organs return to their normal function.
Body
On the physical level, Reiki and Shiatsu are very effective in conditions where stress is an underlying factor (almost all dis-eases!). By relieving stress on deeper levels, they help to encourage the elimination of toxins, accelerate healing, relieve acute or chronic pain, reactivate circulation, stimulate the lymphatic and endocrine systems, revive the immune system, and regenerate tissues.
Thoughts and Emotions
On the level of the mind and emotions, Reiki liberates and brings to consciousness somatic emotions and increases the will and courage to resolve blocked and painful situations.
What Does it Feel Like?
When a Reiki practitioner has received proper attunements by a Reiki Master, this vital energy force (Chi or Ki) is able to travel very strongly through the practitioner’s hand chakras and fingertips onto the recipient, helping the body accelerate its natural healing capacity. The characteristic heat of Reiki that can be felt as far as 5 inches away.
Through Reiki, the practitioner becomes a clear channel for this life force to flow onto the client's energy fields, freeing up blockages and regulating the body’s system.
Reiki is done with the client fully dressed, on a massage table or on a chair.
Reiki is not a religion, although it is spiritual in nature. It can be done in person or long-distance, through distant healing.

Reiki has been recognized by the World Health Organization and is now becoming widely used by nurses and practitioners in hospitals and clinics to help speed up the healing properties of the body and to help in the treatment of all kinds of physical, emotional and psychological disorders.

Thank you!
The 2nd degree Reiki is an advanced level of channeling where the energy will flow faster and at deeper levels. Since Reiki One, you have been adjusting to a higher frequency, and the additional 2 attunements you will receive in the second level will allow Reiki to flow full force at 100%. In addition to receiving these attunements, you will learn how to work with the subconscious mind to help eliminate unwanted habits and enhance talents, to apply Reiki to ideas, events or situations, to help heal the past, and to send Reiki into future events and future interactions.
Reiki is an incredible tool for manifestation. The second degree of Reiki allows us to transmit this healing energy over any distance and time, making it possible for us to join in the transformation of personal and global issues, adding to the Light Work that is in progress in the earth right now.
