 Reiki is a simple yet profound healing art promoting deep relaxation and spiritual unfoldment. As the universal life-force energy, Reiki restores and balances the body in a way that is integral to health, well-being, and aliveness. The energy is channeled by the practitioner to the recipient by a gentle hands-on technique.. Many people experience Reiki as unconditional love. Among other ailments, Reiki treats energetic imbalances, insomnia, injuries, anxiety, and pain.
Origins
Reiki is a Buddhist offspring of Qigong, with Shintoist influences, and can be traced back to ancient Tibetan practices. Reiki was rediscovered at the end of the 19th century by Dr. Mikaomi Usui, a Japanese professor of theology, after a life-long search for this ancient healing wisdom.
How Reiki Works
Reiki supports and lights the inner consciousness that is present and alive in each of us. It is a holistic relaxation therapy that focuses on the root cause of conditions rather than merely on the symptoms. Its healing flow adjusts to the specific needs of each recipient, thereby promoting the body's natural ability to heal. Because Reiki engages many levels of being-physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual-it balances the body's energies and brings them into equilibrium.
Reiki is not attached to any religion or belief system; it is the universal life-force energy that already exists within everyone and everything to some degree. A Reiki attunement, or treatment, amplifies your already existing Reiki and opens your energetic channels to allow a clearer, stronger flow of energy for healing and spiritual purposes.

"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open...." (Martha
Graham, dancer).
