The Human Energy System
Modern physics is now discovering what the ancients knew:
That our bodies are not solid entities, but rather interacting fields of energy given to continuous, creative fluctuation. Quantum physics has demonstrated that all substance is composed of energy fields. Eastern cultures have understood for a long time that these energy systems that we can not see are what composes and sustain the body/mind connections and how it affects our quality of life.
The physical body is the most dense and therefore the most familiar aspect of the human energy system. Extending beyond the physical body are multiple, subtle bodies through which vital energy flows. They have a powerful affect on our well-being influencing the condition of our physical, mental, and emotional health. All conditions of imbalance are rooted in the human energy field, and it is these patterns that must be addressed and resolved to create conditions of wellness. This is the possibility offered by Reiki.
Reiki (prounounced ray-kee) is the Japanese word for the Universal Life Force, the energy that permeates and sustains our entire world. Reiki is not a religion or affiliated with any religion, as it holds not creed or doctrine. It is a very ancient science. Researchers at Stanford University, using highly sensitive instruments, which measure the flow of energy forces entering the body, determined that Reiki energy does flow through the healer's body. Reiki not only can affect change in the chemical structure of the body by helping to regenerate organs and rebuild tissue and bone, it also helps create balance on a mental level.
Reiki is not a belief system, no mental preparation is needed to receive treatment. Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation to prevent disorders, and to maintain a state of positive wellness. It supports any medical or supplemental healing methods. It is a growing interest to physcians, nurses, chirpractors, psychotherapists, pyschologists, and physiotherapists. As the knowledge of Reiki grows, caregivers and healthcare professionals are becoming aware of the health benefits of Reiki, enhancing and expanding their skills.
