Reiki

What Is Reiki?                                                                                                                 Reiki is an ancient, natural, holistic and complementary approach to healing. The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese word “rei” meaning “universal” and “ki” meaning “life energy”. This spiritually guided Universal Life Energy is drawn through us and into us by the laying-on-of-hands. You can use this energetic gift on yourself or others, in person or at a distance.  It is an easy and effective way to activate our own and others’ inherent healing power to restore body, mind and spirit to a sense of wholeness and balance.

Reiki is deeply spiritual, although it is not a religion and is not affiliated with any religious philosophy nor the New Age Movement. Reiki is a gentle, loving, spiritually nurturing approach that anyone can experience.

Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian, rediscovered the use of Reiki after years of searching and studying the healing ministries of the Great Masters, including Jesus and Buddha.
