Reiki is a Japanese healing method that promotes balance and personal growth.
Developed in Japan in the 1920’s by its founder Usui Mikao, the system of Reiki is now practiced around the world in many different ways. Its original name “Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho” translates as the “Usui Healing Method for improving Body, Mind and Heart”. The method includes 5 elements: meditation, hands-on healing, the precepts, symbols and mantras as well as a spiritual blessing called the Reiju. The practice of Reiki strengthens the connection between body and mind. It helps us return to a natural state of balance through a process of deep relaxation. It improves mental clarity, stability and vitality while creating a deep sense of connection, peace and harmony within ourselves and with the world around us.
