WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese healing art developed in the 1920s by Usui Mikao. Its original name, Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryōhō, means “the Usui method for improving body and mind.” The system includes breath meditation, the precepts, symbols and mantras, hands-on healing, and the Reiju (blessing).
HOW CAN REIKI HELP YOU?
Reiki brings balance and harmony to body, mind, and energy. It supports relaxation, clarity, inner peace, and a deeper connection within yourself and the world. Reiki helps restore the body’s natural rhythm, creating space for healing.
