“Founded by Mikao Usui, Reiki is a powerful, holistic treatment that involves the laying on of hands to direct a flow of life-force energy that comes through the practitioner to the patient”, says Faun Parliman, Reiki Master and Guest Instructor for Healing Hands School of Holistic Health (HHSHH). “Considered a Japanese system of natural healing, the word Reiki translates to ‘guided Universal life force energy’. Reiki was brought from Japan to the West in 1937 by one of Usui’s students, Mrs. Takata, where it has been passed on to millions of people all over the world, with numbers continuing to grow!”, Faun continued.
An alternative and integrative healing therapy, Reiki is used to promote relaxation, enhance spiritual connection, spiritual healing and personal transformation. It is a healing modality based on the premise that when one’s life force energy is low, or out of balance, they are more likely to feel stress and succumb to disease. Alternately, when one’s life force energy is high, they are more able to maintain optimal health and enjoy an enhanced sense of well-being.
Shown to be effective in helping almost any illnesses or ailment, Reiki is gaining increased acceptance as an effective, alternative healing therapy. When used as part of an integrative medical treatment plan, Reiki minimizes negative side effects of medicines and treatments, and can substantially speed the healing and recovery process.
Although Reiki is a simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki must be transferred by a Reiki Master via an ’attunement’. Once ‘attuned’ to Reiki symbols, students are able to tap into this life force energy; to positively impact their own and their client’s health and quality of life. Students of Reiki are also inspired to practice specific ethical ideals offered by Reiki’s Founder, Usui as treatment for the improvement of body and mind. These ideals are as follows:
Don’t Get Angry Today.
Don’t Worry Today
Be Grateful Today
Work Hard Today (referring to meditative practice)
Be Kind to Others Today
In 1992, Reiki was added to the long list of healing modalities offered at Healing Hands School of Holistic Health, (HHSHH). The school’s Reiki Instructor, Ms. Faun Parliman, has been a Reiki Master since 1985 and is trained in three major lineages of Reiki. Born a gifted psychic, Faun’s ability to heal came to her spontaneously in 1977. From 1979 through 1981, she ran a healing center out of her home where she amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience dealing with the human energy system. Since then, Faun has shared her knowledge with countless Reiki healers both nationally and internationally.
Faun’s natural intuitive gifts and wealth of experience make her an exceptional Reiki Master and valued instructor for Reiki I and Reiki II classes at HHSHH.
