What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy therapy whose history goes back 2500 years ago, and was rediscovered in the late 1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui, from Japan. It was brought to the U.S. in the 1970s. Reiki is actually two words:  “Rei,” meaning “universal” and “ki,” meaning “life force” or “energy,” like chi or prana.  The focus of Reiki is to enhance the flow of energy through and around a client’s body, enhancing the health and well-being of the person on every level – mind, body and spirit. Many eastern practices support the principle that when there is a disruption in the flow of energy, illness or issues can manifest.  Reiki helps eliminate the disruption or blockage of energy in a person’s system.

Reiki practitioner accesses the universal energy and directs it to the client for the purpose of healing in a holistic way – mind, body and spirit.  While the practitioner performs Reiki on the entire body, an emphasis is placed on the seven primary energy centers (chakras) of a person.
