It’s not massage or acupuncture. It’s Reiki!

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural, energy healing method that brings relaxation, reduces stress, and removes energetic blockages within the body. It also brings about a sense of balance and alignment. Reiki enhances the flow of energy in the body and strengthens the immune system, which in turn, promotes healing. Increased intuition and self-awareness are also facets of spiritual growth that may be experienced.

Many believe that Reiki was practiced for thousands of years before being rediscovered in the nineteenth century by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan. Dr. Usui set out upon a quest to discover the secret to healing, which he found after researching ancient Buddhist texts. After meditating on a mountain for 21 days, Dr. Usui was gifted with a powerful, spiritual energy, which he called “Reiki.” The word “Reiki” means Universal Life Force. So, Reiki is essentially connecting to spiritually guided life force energy to enhance one’s well-being.

What happens during a Reiki session?

During a Reiki session, the practitioner places her hands on or above the client’s physical body. As Reiki comes through the physical body, it can give relief from pain or stress. Other benefits that may be experienced from a Reiki session are physical healing and faster recovery from surgery or long-term illness. At the same time, the spiritual, mental and emotional bodies also receive healing energy. Reiki can provide clarity and insights about the deeper meaning behind circumstances in one’s life.

Reiki can be combined with other modalities of healing, whether they are complementary treatments, such as massage, or conventional medical treatments–like surgery or chemotherapy. If you or a family member is dealing with an illness, Reiki can assist in easing pain and accelerating healing. However, you should always seek the advice of a medical doctor, in addition to any Reiki treatments that you receive.

Are certain religious beliefs required?

There is no particular set of beliefs that are required to benefit from Reiki. No matter what religious background that you come from, Reiki can enhance your spiritual connection by linking you to Divine Energy. Reiki is beneficial for everyone–including babies, children, adults, the elderly and family pets. Yes, that is correct—pets are included! They are comprised of energy, just like humans.
