In
the middle of the 19th century, Christian seminary principal Mikao
Usui was asked by his students why they were not taught the method
by which Jesus performed miracles of healing. Troubled by this request,
Usui left his position at the seminary and begin a decades long quest
that would lead him to believe even lay persons could practice the
arts of energetic healing.
Medical research has determined that habitual stress and toxicity
not only inhibits the body's natural ability to repair, regenerate
and protect itself, but actually creates an environment conducive
to illness, infection and disease. Reiki restores energy balance and
vitality by helping relieve the physical and emotional effects of
unreleased stress and toxins. While stress is often caused by negative
thoughts like fear, worry, sadness, anger, and guilt, Reiki energy
actually promotes feelings of balance, joy and health.
