What is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic healing technique which uses energy to manipulate and balance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Reiki practitioners seek to remove blockages and bring balance to the chakras using colors, sound, crystals, symbols, and palm healing. The origins of Reiki can be traced back to ancient times in history. Reiki comes from the Japanese word “Rei” meaning Universal Life and “Ki” meaning energy. Reiki is not a massage.

Reiki allows healing, relaxes tension, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and creates a sense of well-being in the one being treated. As a living being, the human body naturally radiates warmth & heat. This is why we huddle together when we’re cold. The heat you feel is energy passing between one another.

The cause of heat comes from the chi/life force energy through and around us vs. the functional conditions of the physical organs and tissues. If the flow of the chi is disrupted then the physical tissues will be negatively effected. The disruption of the chi is the main cause of illness or disease. Reiki is also used to clear and strengthen the aura.
