Reiki - The ancient and profound system of “laying on of hand” healing is derived from Tibetan Buddhism. We have a dense physical body that is immediately perceptible by sight and touch, but we also have three other bodies. These non-visible, non-physical bodies are energy levels comprised of Ki, that direct the state of the physical body. Healing cannot be physical alone, but must include the vibrational energy bodies. Where medicine treats only the physical body, Reiki healing treats all four bodies. Healing, therefore, goes much further than medicine, and is far more complete in its results. In the example of a headache, taking an Aspirin may relieve the head pain but does nothing to heal the source. Reiki deals not only with the evident pain, but also with the cause of the pain.
