About Reiki
The origins of Reiki, pronounced “ray-key”, the Japanese word for universal life force energy, can be traced back thousands of years to ancient Tibet.
Much of the Western teachings of Reiki, however, come from the work of Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan who discovered this technique during a fasting/meditation retreat. The method he developed is known today as Usui Reiki.
Reiki healing is applied through either a very light touch, or totally off the body above and around its various energy centers. It facilitates the body’s ability to heal itself by removing blocks and balancing the body's energy system. This process provides deep relaxation, a sense of peace and well-being and supports other therapeutic modalities.
Reiki is an effective and safe complement to any other healing method a person may be using whether allopathic or alternative. It is becoming much more common to find Reiki incorporated as an enhancement to other modalities such as massage therapy, chiropractic, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and in major U.S. hospitals.
