Reiki is a simple, natural, hands-on healing technique that helps in relaxing, releasing stress and maximizing the body's health-potential. Through simple hand-positions the practitioner can treat both himself and others, thereby accelerating the natural healing process of the body. By activating the potential life force in our bodies, we are given access to a harmonious energy that pro-motes health on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Reiki can be learned during a two-day seminar where the energy is activated to radiate from the hands of the participants at the slightest touch of all living beings.

No previous knowledge is required to learn Reiki. Anyone can use the technique irrespective of age, social standing, religion, etc. When placing the hands on the body the energy is automatically drawn to any imbalances, assisting in the healing process of these areas. The user needs no knowledge of anatomy or physiology since the energy is drawn to the problem without our personal involvement. We are simply radiating the energy once it has been activated in our hands. No extensive training, education or special intellectual capability is required in order to work with Reiki. The attunement process is immediate, and at the end of the seminar the energy flows with full power. equally strong from all participants.

Reiki strengthens the body both physically and psychologically. The consciousness is expanded, the inner awareness is deepened, and creativity, intuition and intellect are stimulated. That is why Reiki is such an effective tool for personal growth and enfoldment. Regular use of Reiki contributes to a sound attitude to life, higher stress tolerance, healthier body and mind, more energy and a decreased need for sleep.

Reiki gives us strength to deal with problems we had previously regarded as insurmountable. It thereby helps us to get on with life. We find it becomes easier to re-assume responsibility for our own life, and actively take charge of our situation. Reiki is an excellent complement to other treatments and techniques, promoting optimal health, development and inner harmony.

This book is for those who are looking for something new and special. That 'something" you have known for a long time must exist, but have not yet found. This book is also for those who have already been attuned to the Reiki energy and are using the technique, as well as for those who started but gave up somewhere along the way. It is my hope that you who read this book, whether you are a beginner, a Master or somewhere in between, will be more inspired and reach a deeper understanding of the Universal Life Energy that belongs to us all. The energy which, when attuned according to the Mikao Usui System, is called Reiki.
