The translation of the word Reiki is Spiritual Energy. Do you think that Reiki is the same or different to Ki, Chi, Prana etc.?
Ki is a Japanese word meaning 'Life force'
Chi or Qi is a Chinese word meaning 'Life force' and used in Chinese practices such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong etc.
Prana is a Sanskrit word meaning 'Divine energy' and used in practices such as Yoga etc.
This question often arises within the Reiki community so I would like to know what you think. It would be good if you could write what you think in the comment box below. Write from your heart not any books or from other people! We could have a very interesting on going discussion. I have been in discussion on this subject with other Reiki people on line and I found it very inspiring and connecting.
Here are some quotes that may inspire you.
"Prana is divine energy, life and consciousness" By Swami Maheshwarananda.
"Qi or chi is not only energy but also the quintessential foundation of the Universe. By Robert Jahnke
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
