What is Reiki Healing?

Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) means universal life energy in Japanese. The art of Reiki is a system of gentle vibrational healing that was established by Dr. Usui from Japan in the late 19th century.

Reiki can greatly improve health and well-being by working on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level at the same time. This healing modality treats the whole person, revitalizing the body's own healing potential by restoring greater balance and allowing the natural life force to flow more freely. Reiki is practiced with gentle hands-on, or by simply working the energy above the body, while lying on the massage table wearing loose, comfortable clothing. As the energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to the client, the client may perceive a pulsing or tingling sensation, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or a sense of releasing previously-blocked emotions. Reiki can be used to reduce physical and emotional pain, to calm the mind and experience deep relaxation on all levels as well as improve immune and nervous system functioning. Reiki is widely used in hospitals and birthing centers to aid in the healing process and provide relaxation to the recipients.
