Rebecca Holton's site about Japanese Reiki

Japanese Reiki is a system of spiritual practice working with energy and is more accurately called Usui Reiki Ryoho.

Both the energy and the system are often simply called "Reiki".

On this website I call the energy "Reiki" and the system the "Japanese Reiki System".

The energy that we work with in the Japanese Reiki system is translated into English as Spiritual Energy. Reiki can be said to be the energy that makes up the whole of existence. It therefore flows through every living thing.

Working in a conscious way with Reiki is a practice that can bring us many benefits.

Reiki can help us to:

• Feel happier
• Deal with problems better
• Appreciate the world around us more
• Feel a greater sense of well-being

All of these things can be summed up as:

Practising Japanese Reiki makes us more connected to life, ourselves, everything.

The Japanese Reiki system is a well thought out and structured set of tools and practices that we can use to help us work with Reiki energy and receive these benefits. It can also be a huge spiritual adventure. 

Reiki heals. This is because it is the energy that makes living things be alive.

When we receive a Reiki treatment our body draws the energy that it needs from the Reiki practitioner and uses it to balance itself on whatever level that needs it. This could be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

Reiki is attracted to parts of our being that are out of balance. It flows through them and balances them.

Practising the Japanese Reiki system opens us up spiritually and allows us to develop our true awareness and connection to our true, inner self. 

Japanese Reiki is taught by qualified Reiki master/teachers at meetings and classes.

Students receive attunements and Reiju blessings from their teacher which help them to open up and connect with the Reiki that they already have.

They are given tools to work with in the form of exercises, meditations, symbols or mantras which help them to progress along their Reiki path.
