Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind.
The founder, Usui Mikao

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen

"life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress,

and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

​

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words -

Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".

So, Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

​

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.

Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit

creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

Many have reported miraculous results.

 

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and

malady and always creates a beneficial effect.

It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques

to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion.

It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki.

In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.

Because Reiki comes from God,

many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with

the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. 

Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice

certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
