The Reiki Method
In part 2, we dive deep into the specifics of the healing system of reiki, starting with an exploration of different forms of energy and how reiki fits into this larger context. We’ll then trace the system’s origins back to 1920s Japan and a man named Mikao Usui, to understand more fully how reiki developed into the practice we know today. We’ll talk about the experience of receiving reiki treatments (and how to make the most of your healing session), the various options for studying reiki, and the ins and outs of reiki attunements. We then look at important teachings and healing tools in the reiki system, such as hand positions for healing treatments, symbols and mantras, the reiki precepts, and a variety of traditional and non-traditional reiki techniques. And because reiki is meant to be lived, in Chapter 16, we cover simple yet effective ways to incorporate reiki into your daily life, including creating fun reiki programs tailored to your unique goals!
