Reiki is a gentle yet powerful hands-on healing technique that restores balance on the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional levels. It can bring about a sense of profound peace and deep relaxation. In a Reiki session, universal life-force energy is channeled through the hands of the practitioner and into the recipient, promoting optimal wellness on all levels. It is easily combined with more traditional methods of treatment and care, often enhancing their effectiveness. Any individual of any age can benefit from Reiki, regardless of where along the continuum of health they might be. Reiki is a subtle and yet profound technique that brings about balance, harmony and wholeness. This ancient system of healing was rediscovered in Japan in the 1800's by a monk, Dr. Mikao Usui. Since that time, symbols and attunements have been passed down from Master to student and this meaningful method of teaching Reiki continues to this day.
