WHAT IS REIKI? The Japanese word “Reiki” (pronounced “ray-kee”) means “Spiritual Energy”, and in the 1920s a Japanese Buddhist priest, Dr Mikao Usui, rediscovered an ancient way of channelling this healing energy, creating the Usui Spiritual Energy Healing Method, or Usui Reiki Ryoho, which has become better known in the West simply as “Reiki”. In this context, Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive hands-on healing technique using spiritual energy channelled through a Reiki Practitioner into a client during a Reiki treatment. However, it is much more than a physical therapy. It is an easy-to-learn holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of being - body, mind, emotions and spirit - promoting a sense of wholeness and well-being both in the client and in the practitioner. In addition, unlike any other complementary or alternative therapies, the practice of Reiki is a spiritual discipline which includes meditation, energy cleansing techniques and spiritual principles for living, and practitioners are encouraged to use Reiki on themselves daily not only for self-healing, but also to increase self-awareness, personal growth and spiritual development.
Penelope Quest is also a member of the Society of Authors, as the author of a number of best-selling books on Reiki, all published by Piatkus, including : "The Basics of Reiki"; "Reiki For Life"; "Self Healing With Reiki"; and "Living The Reiki Way". Her latest book, "The Reiki Manual", was published on 16th September 2010.
