Where Growth and Potential Emerge from Boundless Seeking
Reiki Healing
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means “universal life energy” in Japanese, and it originated in Japan with a man by the name of Mikao Usui in the late 1800s.
Reiki is a gentle holistic practice centering the subtle energy that flows through all living things. It is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that supports the natural ability to heal by restoring balance to the body, mind and spirit.
How does it work?
Reiki is a light touch technique that you will receive while remaining fully clothed, and reclining or sitting comfortably while the Reiki practitioner works either off the body in the aura or non-intrusive touch. Reiki can also be offered as a distant healing practice.
Clearing and balancing are the main goals – to achieve harmony in all levels of our being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. On the physical level, Reiki enhances immunity and goes along with all regular medical care. Reiki down regulates the nervous system, shifting away from stress response into a state of balance in the system.
What are the benefits?
A Reiki session induces a state of profound rest that is deeply healing. A common response to a Reiki treatment is inner peace.
Other impacts Reiki session can give you are:
-
less mental, emotional and physical distress
-
feeling calm and grounded

Reiki is gaining acceptance as complementary care and is offered in over 800 hospitals as supportive, nurturing care for body, mind and spirit.
