An Introduction to Reiki
Rei
(universal, spiritual wisdom, or higher consciousness)
Ki
(life force energy)
These two Japanese words combined create Reiki, or “universal life force energy.”
The History of Reiki
Usui Reiki was founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1922 after a spiritual awakening on Mt. Kurama in Kyoto, Japan. After developing the energy healing system, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, a physician and naval officer, studied with Usui and expanded Reiki’s practice into clinical settings, developing structured methods of treatment and training.
In 1937, a Japanese-Hawaiian woman named Mrs. Hawayo Takata began training with Hayashi in Japan. After completing her training, she returned back to Hawaii. By the 1970’s she was traveling through the United States teaching thousands of people. By the 1980’s, Reiki had expanded globally.
Reiki: Beyond the Matrix is a style of Usui Reiki created by Katie Haegele, RMT, ARM, 500-RYT, CAI and Courtney Orlando, MS, BSN, RN, RMT who hosted their first class in Ambler, PA in November of 2024. Reiki: Beyond the Matrix bridges the foundations of traditional Usui Reiki with emerging perspectives from advanced energy science, mind-body medicine, quantum mechanics concepts, sacred geometry, biofield awareness and multidimensional consciousness. It works within the plasma field of Source Consciousness, accessing the quantum realm of infinite potential to facilitate remembrance of the soul’s original blueprint.
What should you expect in a session?
During a Reiki session, you will remain fully clothed and may be seated or lying comfortably on a massage table. In the energy work process, the practitioner may place their hands lightly on various areas of the body or hold their hands slightly above the body, depending on the session and your preferences. Tools such as crystals or singing bowls may also be laid on the body or held slightly above based on needs and comfort level. While every individual experience varies, it is possible to experience minor physical sensations such as warmth or heat, tingling, emotional release or physical sensations of energy movement.
What is Reiki for?
Reiki is widely used as a modality for stress reduction and relaxation. It can provide a sense of deep stillness and feelings of peace, relaxation or presence. It’s very calming for the nervous system and can help create a more regulated energy flow for the body. With these qualities it can be very nurturing for individuals looking for a quiet time to unwind or navigating difficult life situations or experiences.
Reiki can also be helpful for body modifications and operations. Before and after any type of surgery or procedure, Reiki can be performed on an individual to help amplify their body’s own self-healing abilities. This helps with faster healing times and less complications during the process as well as healthier scar tissue formation. Reiki can even be sent to the teams performing the service, giving them a boost to perform at their best in your favor!
Reiki’s best quality is its ability to amplify what’s already in our best interest. With that in mind, it can be a potent tool to manifest what you want in your life. Instead of trying to “fix” something about yourself, the intention can be that everything meant to light up your life may find you! You can use Reiki to amplify the good already in your life and call more of it in!
This is only the beginning of what Reiki can do for you. With a little creativity, the possibilities are endless!
