About Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-kee) is a non-invasive, energy healing modality that supports health and well-being. It is an ancient Japanese art that was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese term that is loosely translated as Higher Power or Universal Mind (Rei) and Life Force Energy (Ki). It has no religious affiliation and can restore balance and heal and harmonize all aspects of a person; physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional. A Reiki practioner is trained to tap into this healing vibration and acts as a channel for it to flow through. The practitioner will use light touch to remove blockages and increase the flow of energy to improve overall health and well-being, as well as, encourage awareness and growth.
