What is Reiki ?
Reiki is an energy transfer therapy which was created in Japan, by Mikao Usui in 1922. In Japanese, Reiki means universal, spiritually guided, life energy.
Reiki is a way of activating and applying Universal energy to help promote health and harmony of mind, body, spirit and emotions. It assists the body's natural healing powers, helping it to realign itself and maintain its balance.
Reiki releases the congested energy in a gentle manner, preventing the deepening of tension in the body and mind, that would eventually lead to disease, illness or crisis.
Reiki can be used both for self-healing as well as giving Reiki to others.

How does reiki work ?
Reiki is a healing technique where the therapist lays both hands on the patient’s body and allows the Reiki energy coming from the universe flows for the benefit of the patient.
Reiki helps activating and restoring the life-force energy within and around the body, it releases the energy congested in the chakras – the energy centers – to allow the person to have a healthier body and mind. It also balances the yin and yang and facilitates a smooth flow of the chi through the meridian system. Reiki does not only affect the energy centres, it also aims to heal other areas in the body that are diseased or ill.
We are alive because there is life force flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis, it also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of energy is disrupted, it affects the functions of organs and tissues of the physical body, which can lead to illness.
The life force is responsive to thoughts, feelings and emotions. It becomes disrupted when we are emotionally affected or when we accept, consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts and feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and emotions create a congestion in the energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of the life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.
Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and channels and charging them with positive energy (changing the polarity of the congested energy) and at the same time boosting the body's immune system. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in the physical body and around in the aura and the chakras, where the negative thoughts and emotions are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and move away creating a detoxification in the tissues and organs themselves. Reiki clears, strengthens and heal the energy pathways, allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
Reiki is a comprehensive - or holistic - healing technique which acts at all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. During a Reiki treatment, the origin of the main energy blockages can be identified, leading the patient to a deeper understanding of their pain and illness, which would give them helpful tools to avoid the disease to come back.
Reiki assists the patient’s body in the healing process quickly and naturally. Reiki has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and disease and always creates a beneficial effect.
