Brian Stracner Advanced Usiu Reiki Master

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a radiance flowing through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit creating many beneficial healing effects. Many have reported amazing results from multiple symtoms.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been helpful in healking almost every known illness and trauma, and always creates some beneficial results. It also works well in conjunction with hypnotherapy and all other clinical modalities.

An amazingly simple technique to learn how to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense Instead it is transferred to the student during a Reiki attunment session. The ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by the Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of universal energy to improve one's health and increase the quality of life.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from the devine universe, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

During a meditation several years after developing Reiki, Dr. Usui decided to add the Reiki Ideals to the practice of Reiki. The Ideals came in part from the five prinicples of the Meiji emperor of Japan whom Dr. Usui admired. The Ideals were developed to add spiritual balance to Usui Reiki. Their purpose is to help people realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to improve oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience. In order for the Reiki healing energies to have lasting results, the client must accept responsibility for her or his healing and take an active part in it. Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment to improve oneself in order for it to be a complete system. The ideals are both guidelines for living a gracious life and virtues worthy of practice for their inherent value.

"The miraculous medicine of all diseasesust for today, do not anger. Do not worry and be filled with gratitude. Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people. Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer. Pray these words to your heartand chant these words with your mouth." - Dr. Usui Mikao.
