What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It was discovered by Fr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s.

Rei - means universal - higher knowledge or spiritual consciousness. It understands each person completely and knows the cause of all problems and difficulties and knows how to heal them.

Ki - life energy. As long as something is alive it has the life energy. In yoga it is called ’prana’. If your life energy is low or if there is a restriction in this flow, you are more vulnerable to illness. When it is high and flowing freely you are less likely to get sick. It is the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life.

Reiki can be described as the spiritually guided life energy.

How Does Reiki Heal?

Ki flows within our bodies through pathways, chakras, meridians and through our aura.

Ki nourishes the organs and tissues as it flows through them.
