What is Reiki?
Reiki (a Japanese word meaning universal life energy) is a Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of energy through the practitioner hands to promote relaxation and healing. Reiki is a life energy that flows through us and can be channelled to support physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It is a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing. It promotes balance, calm and well-being.
Reiki practitioners can promote balance within themselves and others by learning how to move energy and direct it specific energetic systems. Reiki is non-evasive light, and relaxing, making it a popular holistic treatment.
Reiki has its roots in early 20th century Japan, founded by Mikau Usui after a spiritual awaking on Mount Kurama. During a 21 day meditation and fasting period. Usui experienced an amazing break through that led to the development of Reiki as a form of energy.
Usui combined his newfound knowledge with traditional therapies, Buddhism and other spiritual practices. The result was forming a new energy healing method aimed at promoting spiritual growth, self improvement and holistic well-being.
Those who receive Reiki treatment report a boast in overall health and leave the treatment feeling calm and relaxed. It's important to note that scientific evidence has yet to confirm these benefits but this doesn't discount the self reported benefits that many people experience.
