What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of spiritual healing and spiritual practice proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he claimed to receive the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, in which they claim to be channels for energy ("Ki") guided by a universal spirit or spiritual nature ("Rei") — flowing through their palms to heal a person wherever they may need healing. A study in Alternative Therapies (Jan/Feb 2005 issue) said that in 2002 there were over one million U.S. adults who had experienced Reiki treatments. Reiki is considered controversial by some people. There is little evidence that Reiki works by any means other than suggestion and/or the placebo effect, although some sympathetic theorists claim to have described a scientific basis for calling Reiki an energy medicine.

One of the greatest Reiki healing health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the bodies natural healing abilities, and improves and maintains health. Reiki healing is a natural therapy that gently balances life energies and brings health and well being to the recipient.

Reiki is a specific type of subtle energy work in which healing is performed by the touch of the hands, allowing the flow of the energy from a limitless source (God Force) to the patient via the Reiki practitioner. It is extremely powerful, yet gentle energy that can be easily channeled to yourself and others, just by intention.
Reiki healing is a pure energy form. When it is combined with the sincere Desire of the Healee, who is willing to effect a cleansing within their emotional and spiritual consciousness, a total healing can occur.

Reiki Attunements
Also borrowed from reiki-for-holistic-health.com/reiki-attunements.html Reiki is a tradition based on symbols and three levels of expertise.
REIKI LEVEL I
At this level the initiate is permanently attuned and connected to the Reiki source of healing energy. Once initiated it allows a person to performing healing on oneself and others. It requires no special invocation or alteration of the thinking process to "turn on the flow" of Reiki. By simply placing the hands and opening the heart to love, one automatically brings in the energy.
The First Degree is the foundation for all three degrees, and should be mastered first before the person considered for the next level.
This level deals with physical issues and self healing.
REIKI LEVEL II
The initiate is attuned again to better connect with energies that heal mental and emotional issues and that can travel across any distance and time. You can practice sending distance healing to your friends and family, even animals.
The power symbol learned can be used to help focus energy for specific purposes. In order to receive this initiation, one must have been previously attuned to Reiki I.
REIKI LEVEL III/MASTER
All the Reiki energy is unlocked when attuned to this level. At this level the initiate will be able to perform Reiki attunements to others. One must have been previously attuned to Level I and II in order to receive this level.
Coaching enhanced with Reiki
Happiness coaching and leadership coaching are enhanced with the Reiki attunements. Imagine three months that include a huge psychological progression as well as physical and spiritual.
