What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the late 19th century. It was developed by Mikao Usui, who believed that energy could be channeled through the hands to promote healing and balance in the body. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "Rei," which means universal, and "Ki," which means life energy.

Reiki practitioners use gentle hand movements or place their hands just above the body to help guide this energy.

Reiki is a Japanese “hands-on technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

When our energy is depleted, imbalanced, or the flow is restricted by stress, injury, illness, etc., we are more susceptible to discomfort, further illness, and disease (as with restrictions of the circulatory and nervous systems). When our energy is restored, free-flowing, or balanced, we are more likely to feel relaxed, promoting health and an overall state of wellbeing.
