About reiki

Before diving in...

What is Reiki?

Reiki originated as a Japanese tradition of energy work that gently reduces stress, encourages relaxation and facilitates healing. The Japanese word "Reiki" is a descriptor of its own nature as transcendent life force energy - the commonly accepted translation:
  • Rei = Transcendent or spiritual
  • Ki = Life force or vital energy
Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk, developed the Reiki System of Natural Healing in the early 1920s. Since then, the principles and techniques have been passed down from teacher to student through guided instruction, practice and attunements. Each Reiki Practitioner has their own training lineage; but, the educational foundation and fundamentals flow from Mikao Usui's original teachings.
