WHAT IS REIKI?

​Reiki is not intended for use in diagnosing, healing or preventing disease.  It is not an alternative to todays Western medical and psychological services, but rather an adjunctive therapy that can help support healing and increase a feeling of wellbeing.  ​

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive ancient Japanese technique for relaxation and healing that utilizes energy-based methods. This practice enhances the body's natural healing abilities, addressing physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Rei = Universal
Ki = Life Force Energy

HOW REIKI WORKS

Reiki is based on the understanding that everything in the body is made up of energy. When that energy becomes disrupted or depleted - through stress, emotional strain, or life transitions - people often feel it as tension, fatigue, or feeling “off” without a clear reason.

Reiki works by helping the energetic body return to a more balanced, grounded state - bringing calmness, clarity and deep relaxation to Mind, Body and Spirit.

WHAT CAN REIKI SUPPORT?

Reiki is often chosen as a form of support during times of stress, transition, or emotional overwhelm.


People commonly seek Reiki for:
   ●    Stress and emotional overwhelm.
   ●    Feeling disconnected from yourself.
   ●    Life transitions and periods of change.
   ●    Difficulty slowing down.
   ●    Feeling energetically "off".
   ●    Supporting relaxation and a sense of balance.

WHAT REIKI IS - AND ISN'T

Reiki IS:

  • Gentle.

  • Non-invasive.

  • Energy-based.

  • Complementary to conventional healthcare.

​

Reiki is NOT:

  • A religion.

  • Massage.

  • Psychotherapy.

  • A replacement for medical/psychological care.


You do not need to “believe” in Reiki for it to be effective. Your nervous system will respond to it whether "believe" or not.  Most people simply come with curiosity and a willingness to slow down.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF
REIKI ENERGY HEALING

Mikao Usui, Father of Reiki

Mikao Usui Sensi
Father of Reiki

Reiki originated in Japan in the early 20th century and was developed by Mikao Usui. After a period of deep spiritual study and meditation, Usui formulated Reiki as a gentle energy practice focused on supporting balance, relaxation, and healing of the whole person. The practice was later carried forward by his students, including Chujiro Hayashi and Hawayo Takata, who helped introduce it beyond Japan. Today, Reiki is practiced worldwide as a non-invasive method for promoting calm, restoration, and energetic harmony.
