About Reiki Information

If you're looking for some good basic information about Reiki then you've got off at the right stop.

When we tell people that we practise Reiki - most of them nod knowingly. Sensing their interest we get a little carried away with talking about it until... we realise we lost them way back at the very beginning. And when we manage a pause, their first question is, "Actually, I've heard of Reiki - but what is it exactly?".

Those of you who are curious may wish to go immediately to What is (and isn't) Reiki? This is aimed to inform the general public, and hopefully be educational for Reiki practitioners too, about many of the myths that have sprung up around the system. It also clarifies the very basic question of 'What is Reiki?".

There is also a Frequently Asked Questions page where we share with you some of the answers we offer to questions we receive through the website.

Everyone loves to hear about the benefits of learning a technique like Reiki. So, without just saying 'everything' (even though that may be the truth) we've listed a number of benefits to satisfy your curiosity.

There are five basic elements of the system of Reiki. These are the basis of the centre's second book, The Japanese Art of Reiki. We've included an excerpt from the book to help explain what these elements are and why its important that these five elements be found within every Reiki course.

Functioning at the very crux of the system is energy and we explain how the Japanese energetic system works and its relation to the system of Reiki.

The actual word, Reiki, is often used in two very different ways - sometimes it relates to the system and at other times it is used to mean the energy only. This can cause confusion so we explain that clearly for anyone getting mighty confused out there.

The fascinating history of Reiki can also be followed through our many pages about the founder of Reiki, his students, historical places in Japan related to Reiki, traditional practices, and historical inconsistencies that continue to keep popping up.

So, where is Reiki Today? What does it mean to 'do' Reiki today and who is teaching it? We've taken this a step forward with a page on the branches of Reiki - explaining a little of their development and what the International House of Reiki teaches and why.

We take a look at some scientific data that has been released about Reiki and offer some links for you to follow that up further.

Here are some examples of the little discussed Reiki poetry that the founder of the system of Reiki worked with. You can listen to the poetry and even learn how to write your own.

If you like watching videos on the internet then these beautiful Interactive Reiki practices are just the thing for you. Learn traditional energetic clearing and strengthening techniques.

You can find the answers to all your questions under Reiki Information by clicking on the links on the left of this page and as always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
