WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a gentle, holistic healing practice that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and well-being. Rooted in the Usui System of Natural Healing, Reiki originated in Japan and is based on the concept of a universal life force energy that flows through all living things. When this energy is balanced and free-flowing, we experience greater physical, emotional and spiritual harmony.

The Origins of Reiki

Reiki was founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. Usui Sensei embarked on a profound spiritual journey that led him to the discovery of Reiki. Seeking enlightenment and understanding, he climbed Mount Kurama, a sacred mountain in Japan, where he fasted, meditated and prayed for 21 days. On the final day, Usui Sensei experienced a powerful spiritual awakening and was guided to Reiki - a healing practice based on channeling universal life energy.

This moment of enlightenment became the foundation of the Usui System of Natural Healing, which has since been passed down through generations of practitioners.

How Reiki Works

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy where the practitioner channels universal energy through their hands to the recipient. This can be done with light touch or by working just above the body. By helping to release energetic blockages, Reiki encourages deep relaxation, reduces stress and supports the body’s natural healing processes.

The Importance of Lineage

Reiki is passed from teacher to student through a sacred attunement process, maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the practice. Lineage is an essential aspect of the Usui System of Natural Healing, as it connects each practitioner back to Mikao Usui. This lineage ensures that the teachings and energy techniques remain true to their origins, honoring the wisdom and intention of Usui Sensei's discovery.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Reiki works on all levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - making it a truly holistic therapy. It complements other therapies and treatments, helping to ease stress, calm the mind and promote a sense of inner peace.

During a session, you will remain fully clothed and relax comfortably, either lying down or seated. The experience is gentle, nurturing and uniquely tailored to your needs.

Reiki can support:

Reiki is safe for people of all ages and works in harmony with the body’s natural rhythms.

The Usui System: A Tradition of Healing

The Usui System of Natural Healing is rooted in respect for tradition, simplicity and the power of universal energy. By practicing Reiki, both the practitioner and the recipient connect to this profound energy, fostering a sense of renewal and balance.
