What Is Reiki

The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century.

Reiki's natural healing energy works on every level, not just the physical, but also the emotional level and promotes the body's own self healing.

The word Reiki means 'Universal Energy'. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being.

Acupuncture, T'ai chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person.

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and to restore balance and harmony to the body.

It is a completely complementary therapy and therefore can be used in conjunction with conventional medicine as well as other complementary therapies.
