Reiki

The Usui System of Reiki is a safe, energy healing practical therapy, that promotes balance in mind, body, and spirit. Reiki can provide complementary treatment for both chronic and acute conditions in people of all ages and stages of life as well as pets. It is relaxing, non-manipulative, non-invasive and does not interfere with any form of medical treatment.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines Reiki as “A healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.”

It is based on an Eastern belief that energy, referred to as 'chi' or 'ki' flows through all things, living and inanimate, and supports the body's natural healing abilities.

Reiki (pronounced RAY KEY) translates into Western dialect as Universal Life Force Energy or Spiritual Energy.

Its principal effects are the relief of stress and pain through the stimulation of a person's own healing responses.

In and of itself, Reiki is not a 'cure' but rather a facilitator of enhanced wellbeing.
