What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient healing art that was rediscovered in the early 20th century by a Japanese monk Mikao Usui. Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a means of tuning into the universal life energy that underlies everything in manifestation, and having it flow through the hands to soothe, heal and invigorate. Brought to this country in the 1930’s, Reiki became popular around the 1990’s. This healing art is non-invasive and completely safe for anyone, regardless of physical or emotional condition. It is simply a placing of hands on the body, allowing the energy to flow where it is needed. It is the transfer of pure healing energy through touch, reaching all levels (body, mind, spirit), thus bringing us into balance. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows around and through you.
Why has Reiki become so popular?
The answer lies in its simplicity and power. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
While you must learn Reiki from a Master (teacher), it is very easy to learn and once learned (with an initial commitment of about 12 hours), you have access to the universal energy forever! The ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to a student by the Master (teacher) through a process called Attunement (initiation) during a Reiki class.

Reiki Classes
There are three levels to Reiki training
Level I teaches about this energy and opens you to its power.
Level II gives you additional power, including the ability to send healing over distances.
Level III is for those who wish to teach Reiki. Along with it comes the responsibility of bringing Reiki into all facets of one’s life through living its principles.
About Rupa!
I was introduced to Reiki in the winter of 1995 in India during my 1st year of college. My vocal chords got paralyzed and due to that I could hardly talk for 5-10 minutes in a day. After giving up hopes with all kinds of medicines I resorted to Reiki. I practiced for a few months and during my Reiki Level II class I got my voice back. It can be called a miracle or a healing in progress. I received my Reiki Level I and II from my master Pravin D. Patel.
In the winter of 2007 I received my Level III Master training from my Master Mary Christine Teti. Since 1995, this gift of Reiki has been a part of my life and I have been treating myself along with my family and friends.
My commitment:
To bring Reiki to as many people as possible, and help initiate a process of healing and self improvement whether through class or private session.

How does reiki work?
As stated already, reiki is not a massage therapy. Reiki is energy that is passed to you through the practitioner during a treatment. Reiki works on all levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual – and therefore heals on all levels. Physical ailments are often symptoms of problems in the emotional, mental and spiritual selves. Addressing these problems aids physical healing. This is why it is important to heal on all levels. This is also why reiki treatments are available for everyone. It is not just for those with physical ailments. Reiki can help lift your spirits and make you feel happier.
Receiving reiki treatments regularly can help you achieve a balance and a good overall wellbeing in life. Reiki used on a daily basis can bring you peace and tranquility. A reiki practitioner may use reiki on herself. I have received inspiration at times when I used reiki on myself. Of course, I receive healing each time as well!
What is a reiki practitioner?
A reiki practitioner is a channel for reiki to pass through and heal. A reiki practitioner has gone through an attunement process to open various energy centers in the body through which reiki passes. She is taught the various hand positions used during treatments. Essentially, reiki travels through the practitioner’s head and out through the hands. Since the reiki practitioner is only a channel for the energy, the practitioner does not use her own energy to aid in treatment. Reiki simply passes through the practitioner. Giving reiki is an intuitive process. A practitioner may be able to scan and sense where reiki is needed and will apply reiki in those areas. Reiki helps both you and the practitioner as the energy travels through both of us.
I am trained in Usui Shiki Ryoho. I practice reiki in combination with my own spiritual beliefs, so I tend to blend in these ideas with my practice. Reiki, however, works regardless of a person’s belief system. It does not depend on the practitioner’s beliefs nor does it depend on the client’s beliefs. It just works.
What are treatments? How do I get one?
A full body reiki treatment consists of a set of standard hand positions on the body. Through these hand positions, reiki energy passes to you through the practitioner. Each hand position is held for approximately 2 to 5 minutes. It really depends on how much reiki is being absorbed in each position. For example, I always receive the most reiki through my throat as I have had problems there. Everyone is different and may absorb more reiki in different areas. Reiki can be applied anywhere on the body. For example, the arms are often left out of a treatment, but reiki can be applied there. Some people may have hip issues – there is no problem with applying reiki there. A reiki treatment may focus on a specific ailment or illness. Thus, if you wish, you may request a specialized reiki treatment.
Reiki can also be sent as a treatment to anyone, anywhere, any time. This is called “distance reiki”. While distance reiki is just as effective as in-person treatments, I recommend that people who are trying reiki for the first time receive an in-person treatment first. The reason for this is that some people may need the touch and contact in a reiki session to help the healing process. After your first treatment, feel free to ask for distance reiki whenever you need it!
You can receive a reiki treatment by contacting me at rupareiki@yahoo.com. I provide a reasonable rate for treatments. The rates for distance reiki are lower. If there is an issue with affordability, I can accommodate. The days of barter and trade have not gone by the wayside. I am willing to accept another form of payment so long as it is agreeable to both of us. A reiki practitioner has invested much energy into providing reiki – not just in the treatment but in the learning. It is energy well spent to help others, but a practitioner still needs to make a living. However, THERE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES REGARDING MY FEES. I am quite flexible and willing to accommodate to people’s needs. (Disclaimer: I am NOT a licensed doctor or physician of any kind. Persons with serious illnesses and ailments should seek the advice of a professional medical practitioner.)

What are the benefits of reiki?
The obvious benefit of reiki is healing on all levels. For some, the healing may take a longer time than expected, but healing will occur. Often there are hindrances to healing and this need to be removed before healing takes place. Reiki will help with this as well. Sometimes unexpected things may happen which in the long term prove to be beneficial to healing. I believe that the best healing is gradual and not rushed. Do not rush reiki healing, but do not try to slow it down either. Reiki heals at its own pace and of its own accord, but also pays attention to the needs of the person being healed.
Reiki also provides a balance and wellbeing in life. In the long term and with continued use and treatment, it can provide enlightenment. For a practitioner, reiki provides inspiration, peace, tranquility, and a sense of fulfillment. For both a recipient and a practitioner, reiki is a connection to a higher source, something greater than this world.
