What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient form of healing believed to have spread through Tibet, China and India a few thousand years ago. It was rediscovered in the late 19^th century in Sanskrit by Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian minister and theology teacher.

The word Reiki is Japanese, where “Rei” means “Universal” and “Ki” means “Life Energy”. Reiki is the vital life energy which flows through all living things and which can be activated for the purpose of healing, working on all levels – spiritual, physical, mental and emotional.

Although it has its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings, Reiki is not a religion or a faith system. All that is necessary is the will to heal and to be whole.
