Reiki ​is a form of folk medicine known as energy healing. The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words "Rei" and "Ki." Rei meaning higher power, spiritual wisdom, or soul. Ki meaning life force energy, field of energy, vital energy or prana. 

​

Ki is present in our atmosphere, around us and within us. The seamless flow of Ki allows us to experience balance, peacefulness and wellbeing. Blockage and stagnation of Ki is often the cause of emotional and physical health imbalances.

In a Reiki session, the Reiki practitioner targets the energy field around the body, the 7 chakras in the body and any specific areas of the body that may be affected, in an effort to transfer life force energy. This transference of energy releases any Ki stagnation and brings the body back to balance. Reiki may be offered as hands-on healing or distance healing. 

​

Though Reiki has been used as a healing modality in the East for centuries, the exact dates of its beginnings are unknown. It has travelled through India, Tibet and China before being rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1800.

During a 21-day monastic practice on Mount Kurama, Dr. Usui had a spiritual awakening. In his meditation, he saw ancient Sanskrit symbols. These symbols, later, helped him create the Usui Reiki system of healing.

​

Today, Usui Reiki and other forms of energy healing are practiced all across the world, bringing relief, peace, and harmony to all.
