What is Reiki?

A natural, simple, safe, effective healing system that uses spiritually guided universal energy - the kind that permeates our entire universe and all living things. This energy is channeled through the hands of the practitioner into the body and aura of the receiver. This ancient healing method has been used for thousands of years and was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui.

Reiki is a Japanese term meaning universal energy, or spiritually-guided energy. It can be sent to someone who is not physically present and can also be used on plants and animals. Reiki opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease and pain and the necessity for taking responsibility for one’s fragile life. It heals on all levels:

physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual

to help return the body to its natural state.
