To Reiki Is To Chi – A Universal Life Force!

Reiki is a form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

Based on qi (“chi”), which practitioners say is a universal life force. Developed in Japan in 1922 by Mikao Usui, it has been adapted into varying cultural traditions across the world. Reiki’s teachings and adherents claim that qi is physiological and can be manipulated to treat a disease or condition.

We plan our lives around big events, birthdays, marriages, moves to new places. So why do we ignore the biggest event of all? Death. Shouldn’t that, more than anything else, affect the way we live?

And if there’s even the slightest possibility of an afterlife, could anything else be as important? Would you plan your move to a far away land–with a culture and language totally unknown to you–by focusing on what to have for lunch before you go?

Has anyone ever truly lived who was not prepared to die?

“How strange this fear of death is. We are never frightened at a sunset.” ~George MacDonald
