Reiki is an ancient Japanese hands-on healing technique that utilizes Universal Energy and positively affects the body-mind-spirit as a whole.

The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words: rei, meaning higher power or universal force, and ki, meaning life energy. Loosely translated, Reiki means universal or spiritually-guided life-force energy.

Practiced for thousands of years throughout Japan, China, Tibet and other Asian nations, Reiki was “rediscovered” in the late 19th century by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Buddhist monk and educator, who used the therapy to heal the sick. In the 1930s, a Japanese-American woman, Hawayo Takata brought Reiki to the West after she learned the practice from a Reiki master in Japan.

Reiki is used as a method of healing illness and reducing stress through light touch or, more commonly, by placing the hands near or above the body in specific positions or patterns. Through these positions, a Reiki practitioner can correct energetic imbalances in the body, improving health and restoring a person’s energy levels.

What Reiki is Not

Reiki is not massage, religion, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosing illness. It is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, gently and powerfully promoting balance among all the body's systems and the normal regenerative processes of the body and mind.
