Reiki was founded, not only as a healing modality, but as a way of life - and as such, a way to balance of Body, Mind and Spirit. We should not only be satisfied with Reiki if it heals our physical ailments, as Reiki goes far beyond that. It is holistic to its core and therefore, one or two sessions may be effective in a physical sense but the results will be fleeting if the essence of Reiki is unknown. This essence is partly passed on to us through the Reiki principles but mostly through regular, dedicated channeling of Reiki. What better way can we serve our world then by bringing this Higher energy in as often as possible? And what better way can we serve as Reiki practitioners then by filling ourselves up with it each and every day? Since at the same time we are giving it out to everyone we come in contact with. We've all noticed how smiling is contagious... well the same is true with Reiki! One cannot help but spread the positive, loving energy when it is surrounding him/her and filling up his/her entire being!
