Reiki is an ancient healing art that has its roots in Ancient Buddhism/Shintoism and Chinese Qigong. It was re-discovered by Mikao Usui of Japan near the end of the 19th century. Reiki is an energy healing method used to activate, harmonize, and reconnect the self with universal life energy, a source that is limitless.

This form of hands on body work can be used on oneself or in a session between a practitioner and recipient. A powerful yet simple technique, Reiki restores inner balance, increases relaxation, and promotes healing at all levels. As the energy flows into the recipient’s body it can release blockages and encourage optimal functioning. Reiki can be used independently or as a complementary therapy to other traditional approaches.

During the session the recipient remains fully clothed while lying on a massage table. The laying on of hands with a light touch is the means used to facilitate the flow of energy. This relaxing experience of merging body, mind, and soul with source is unique to each individual.
