What is REIKI?  

Reiki is a wellness treatment option that originated in Japan and focuses on harnessing the power of spiritual energy. The goal of treatment is to promote healing in the body and improve the balance of energy by dealing with any blockages or disturbances in the flow of the client’s “chi” or “ki” energy. 

This energy healing method is dating back many thousands of years before Christ and Buddha. The original name, disciplines and techniques of Reiki were lost due to the traditional method of passing knowledge from generation to generation by word of mouth. It was rediscovered by a Japanese Scholar and monk named Dr. Mihao Usui who is considered the founder of modern Usui Reiki System. 

Rei means universal, omnipresent - present everywhere at the same time. Esoterically, Rei means spiritual consciousness, the omniscient wisdom from God or the higher self. 

Ki means life force. It is the non-physical vitality that gives life to all living things. 

Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of KI energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being. 

Ki energy can be activated for the purpose of healing. When you feel healthy and full of enthusiasm, the flow of Ki energy in your body is high and unencumbered. Life seems easier to deal with and you have a higher resilience to illness and disease. 

However, when your Ki energy is low because maybe you are under stress or feeling unhappy and tired you will be more susceptible to disease and sickness. Your attitude will be generally negative and you will find it difficult to deal with life's challenges. Ki is the very essence of your Soul; it leaves the body when a person dies.
