Developed by Mikao Usui, Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive Japanese healing modality founded upon ancient energy healing principles originated in Tibet and India. The Japanese translation of reiki is "universal life force energy" and it is the true essence and barometer of holistic health.
Thousands of years before Quantum Physics validated that everything is essentially made of vibrating energy, ancient healing traditions such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Qi-Gong, Tai Chi and Acupuncture developed the knowledge that holistic health is directly correlated to an individual's flow of "ki" or "qi" in Chinese and "prana" in Sanskrit. They were keenly aware that mind, body and spirit are intricately connected and that in addition to the physical body, every individual has a "subtle" or energetic body that also requires routine maintenance to achieve health and vitality. ​
​
Just as the human body has a physical anatomy, the subtle body also has an energy anatomy. Our energy anatomy consists of our aura which has several different layers and our "chakras" or energy centers which also correlate to the function of specific organs and emotions.
While every individual's physical body has the ability to heal, our chakras can become blocked due to stagnant energy being stored in our bodies from chronic stress, anxiety, toxins, trauma, grief, self-doubt, fear and the like. Left unmanaged, this can oftentimes lead to imbalance, illness and dis-ease. Reiki is an effective means of both preventing and combating these imbalances as it helps to process and release heavy emotions, trauma and discordant energy in order to restore the body back to its natural healing capabilities.
​
Reiki is channeled through the practitioner's bioenergy field, out through the hands and to the recipient. The practitioner places her hands on or slightly above various parts of the body that correspond to the chakras to remove energy blockages and to get the recipient's ki flowing properly again. Quantum Physics explains this as the process of "entrainment" whereby the higher vibrational energy of Reiki is being channeled by the practitioner to the lower vibrational energy, thus raising the recipient's frequency so they synchronicize. The result is a harmonization of frequencies, which helps restore the recipient's natural state of being and stimulates the body's innate healing abilities.
