Reiki and It's Meaning

Reiki is a word made up of two Japanese words

Rei- meaning ( universal, spiritual powers ) can be interpreted to mean supernatural knowledge or spiritual consciousness. This is considered “ the wisdom that comes from God or the Higher Self “. This is the God - Consciousness which is to be believed as all knowing.

KI - has many other names such as Chi, in Chinese, Prama in Sanskirt. All meaning “ Life - Force “. It is know as the vital life force or the universal life force. It is the non - physical energy force that animates all living things.

All living things have a life force which circulates through and around it. Once this life has expired the life force departs. When your life force is low, or there is restriction to it’s flow, your are then going to be more vulnerable to illness. When your life force is high and flows freely, you of course are less likely to become ill.

This Life Force plays a very important role in everything we do. It animates ( gives life ) to our bodies and is also the primary energy for our emotions, thoughts, and spiritual life.

For thousands of years the Chinese have studied Chi ( life force ) discovering there are many different kinds. The “ Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” which is over 4,000 years old lists thirty - two different kinds of Chi or Ki.

Ki is also used for physical and mental training for martial artist . It is used in Pranayame ( A yoga breathing exercise ) and by Shamans of all cultures for divination, manifestation, psychic awareness, and healing.
trong>Ki is a non - physical energy and used by all healers. It is present around all of us and can be accumulated and guided through the body & mind.

So the true meaning for the word Reiki is “ the supernatural or spiritual energy life force.”
