Reiki is an ancient healing technique that was discovered in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui. It works to stimulate our bodies natural healing abilities and helps to clear out emotional blockages. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. We are all energetic beings who store our stresses and emotions in our physical tissues. A common example is feeling tension in our neck and shoulders when we are stressed or upset.

Reiki is a technique that uses the practitioner as the energetic “middle man” to help transfer and guide the energy as it flows through points of the body to promote healing for the highest good. As a practice it is holistic in that it uses the universal life force energy to bring balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. It is a unique and gentle method that can be used independently or in combination with other manual healing modalities. Reiki may be hands-on or hands-off; either way it connects us with the healing powers that are inherent within, while at the same time rebalancing both the practitioner and the patient.
