What is Reiki?

Reiki is a safe energetic healing therapy that reduces stress and has been shown to relieve physical tension and promote healing.

Developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the 1920s, Reiki is a gentle technique used to stimulate relaxation. Reiki involves laying of hands on or just above the clothed body in a noninvasive, non-manipulative manner. Reiki can also be administered at a distance. Reiki is sometimes paired with medical care, massage and other therapies to reduce anxiety and ease physical pain.

Reiki carries no side effects and is not affiliated with any religion. The term “Reiki” roughly translates to mean “spiritually guided life force energy,” and refers to the practice of channeling life force energy directed by universal consciousness. “Ki” — also called Chi, Prana and other names across various cultures — refers to the universal energy of life.

Reiki practitioners are trained to channel this universal life force energy for healing. Reiki I practitioners facilitate relaxation of the physical body, while Reiki II practitioners can facilitate physical, emotional and mental release and healing. Reiki II practitioners can also perform distance healing for a person in another location.
