Dr. Mikao Usui is said to have discovered and developed this healing art in Japan in the 20th century. Dr. Usui developed this therapy with the premise that to treat the body, one must start by treating one’s mental, emotional, and spiritual condition, which operate in the subtle energy system.

Reiki (pronounced RAY-KEY) is a Japanese word that means universal (Rei) life force energy (Ki). Reiki is a chakra-based holistic, non-invasive, gentle method that accesses this energy to restore balance to the energy system – your mind, body, and spirit. Reiki is built upon the philosophy that wellness is the result of a healthy and balanced energy system.

Chakras are the subtle energy “hubs” of the energy system that manage the flow of information (energy), and function optimally when balanced. Each of these hubs is associated with a layer of the biofield, also known as the auric field. This is the invisible field comprised of layers that surround the body.

Reiki is categorized as complementary energy healing, meant to be used alongside traditional medical treatments. What sets it apart from other holistic services, like chiropractic, massage or acupuncture, is that it is gentle and non-invasive and can be completely hands-off, if needed. Reiki can be shared whether you are physically present or at another location. This is called “Distant Reiki”, and it is unique to a Reiki service.

Reiki is based on the idea that when a person’s life force energy is low or out of balance, they’re more likely to feel stressed, overwhelmed, and/or get sick. Whether you’re looking for stress relief, emotional clarity, or just some time to reconnect with yourself, a Reiki session can help you recenter and realign your energy.
