What is Reiki

Reiki is a form of energy healing, brought to us by Mikao Usui in 1922. Reiki uses universal energy to bring emotional and physical healing, by rebalancing our energies and reconnecting us to our authentic selves.

It is believed that Mikao Usui’s wish was to spread Reiki far and wide, so that it was accessible to everyone. Reiki practitioners must be attuned by a Reiki master, and these attunements are passed down through Western, or Japanese Lineage, that traces back to Mikao Usui himself.

Reiki is given by allowing universal energy to flow from the practitioner’s hands, whilst they work over chakra points or intuitively, often a combination of both, focusing on the needs of the recipient. It can be either hands on, or hands off, depending on the preferences of both the receiver and practitioner.
