What is Reiki?


Reiki is the Japanese word for " Universal life energy" and pronounced "ray-kee." It is a form of healing based on tapping into the unseen flow of energy that permeates all living things. Treatment by a Reiki practitioner is intended to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Reiki is aimed at encouraging the healing energies in the body, and involves transmitting the practitioners own energy to the client. Most emotional, physical, and spiritual conditions will respond to treatment, including many that are considered to be untreatable by the conventional medical profession.

What is the Usui System?

The Usui system is a natural healing aid. Although Reiki is a means of working with energy that we cannot see, it requires no particular belief system: it is not a religion. This system was born out of the dedication and experience of Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese educator from the 1800's. Through travel, research, study and education he evolved a healing system based on ancient Buddhist teachings written in Sanskirt.

What does a Reiki treatment involve?

A Reiki treatment is a light hands on process. A Reiki treatment is safe non-intrusive and non-manipulative: there are no substances applied to the body. Clients lie fully clothed while the practitioner's hands are placed on specific parts of the body that directly relate to the major organs. This helps un-block energy and allows it to flow freely. Some Reiki practitioners do not touch the physical body but transmit healing energy into the surrounding aura. While focus during a Reiki treatment is given to the major organs, every cell of the body benefits. In addition to the formal body positions Reiki can be applied to any area of the body that has been injured. Reiki will even work through bandages and casts. A typical Reiki session lasts about one hour, although it is frequently used in conjunction with other modalities.
