What is Reiki?

The word Reiki means: "spiritually guided life energy"

Perhaps the biggest surprise about getting a Reiki treatment is to find out how relaxing it is. While this is by no means the only benefit or effect, it is certainly a central part of the experience, and it helps you switch from a "busy-day" mode into a "receptive to life" mode.

Reiki was "discoved" by Dr. Mikao Usui during a 21 day mountain retreat in the year 1922. Dr. Usui used his experiences with this energy to teach others and he started up several healing centers in Tokyo.

Today Rieki is taught around the world, typically in three successive levels.

A practiced Reiki Master is able to sense areas of your physical, mental and emotional being and to direct energy to any areas that need healing.

Reiki has been found to be helpful for a variety of ailments, and is also wonderful for a general "tune-up" that you can recieve after a trying time or difficult life passage.
