We are made of ‘energy’ – not in some ‘New Agey’ sense, but in a very real
scientific sense. Electrical and chemical energy courses through our bodies.
The touch screen on your mobile phone works because of the tiny electrical
current in your fingertips. The molecules in our bodies hold energy and this
‘life force’ is what connects us.
We talk about giving off good or bad ‘vibes’
and how people can be either ‘radiators’ or ‘drains’. This is energy or ‘spirit’.
Ayurveda (Indian life medicine) calls it ‘prana’. The Chinese and Japanese
know it as ‘chi’ or ‘qi’.
Energy also stimulates the immune system, clears blocks in the ‘chakras’
(energy centres in the body) and repairs and rebalances the m so that the
body’s own healing mechanisms are effectively activated.
Usei Reiki is a Japanese natural healing technique used to reduce stress and
promote deep relaxation, by channelling healing energy through the hands
of the practitioner to where you may need it at that time.
