Reiki healing

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a system of healing and spiritual development that originated in Japan. The word is Japanese and is written with 2 Japanese kanji, meaning spiritual energy. Rei (pronounced Ray) means spiritual or sacred. Ki means energy.

Reiki is based on the idea that there is a universal (or source) energy that supports the body’s innate healing abilities. Practitioners seek to access this energy allowing it to flow to the body and facilitate healing.

Reiki connects us with our own healing ability that each one of us has within ourselves. Life force energy flows into and through all of us. When the flow is disrupted, this diminishes the life force energy. Whenever there is disease or illness there is a blockage in the flow of energy. Reiki opens up the energy flow which sets the healing process in motion.

Reiki is often performed on the chakras but may be applied to any area of the body.
