Reiki

Reiki pronounced (ray-kee) is a gentle hands on therapy that restores spiritual equilibrium and activates the body's own natural ability to heal itself. Reiki was originally developed by D. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist Monk, in Japan early in the nineteenth century, which is activated by intention. Reiki originates from the Japanese words 'Rei' meaning universal and 'Ki' energy, the Universal Life Force Energy is vital to our life force energy, the life force energy that flows through all living things.

Reiki is an all encompassing therapy; it balances the mind, body and spirit. It can be used by all, as it is not connected to any religion or belief system. It is a non-invasive treatment that is carried out while the client remains fully clothed. It is suitable for all ages. It is a natural and holistic way of treating the whole person and compatible with all medical and therapeutic practices.

What you experiences during a Reiki session may vary from person to person, as each of us is unique and individual.
