What is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic therapy that heals from the root cause through to the symptom through the use and channelling of universal energy.

When Reiki is activated it affects all of the energies that comprise the human body, animal or any living being in the natural world.

Energetic healing has been used for centuries but Reiki was named as one specific form of energetic healing by Dr Mikao Usui (1865-1926) following a 21 day fasting retreat. At the end of the retreat it is said that he rushed down a mountain in Japan, but fell and injured his foot.

When he held his foot the pain and bleeding ceased and healing power was discovered.

Reiki healing is carried out withour pressure, manipulation or massage and is a soothing and harmonising therapy carried out non-invasively by hovering the hands over the client, animal or other living entity.

Reiki is pronounced Ray-Kee.

Rei translates as the universe, soul, spirit or sacred.

Ki translates as life force energy.
