The practice of Reiki originated over 2,500 years ago in Tibet. It was rediscovered in the late 1800's by Dr. Usui of Japan. Reiki is a Japanese word that means Universal Life Force. It is the energy that surrounds us in our every day lives. It also runs through our bodies constantly, and is therefore also called "life force energy".
The practice of Reiki is essentially a technique for stress reduction and relaxation, but can also be used to treat certain aliments of the body. It enhances our health and quality of life by allowing us to tap into an unlimited supply of this "life force energy". Although many people remain skeptical about this practice, many others have reported miraculous results. Medical doctors are also now considering the role that it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.
Treatments are performed with the clients completely clothed. I typically use light touch in my Reiki work, or will simply allow my hands to hover over the body. This is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing that everyone can benefit from.
