What is Reiki Energy?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key), the word, comes from the Japanese. On a spiritual level this work means Universal Life Intelligence (Rei) and "that which animates all living things" (Ki). When a person has an abundance of Ki it helps them to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. Ki is the "biomagnetic energy" of the human aura. Ki (Chi in China ) is cultivated and harnessed in many of the Eastern arts( martial arts, yoga, meditation etc.). Although it is difficult to describe Reiki in words, perhaps it is best described as "perfect healing energy." Everyone is born with Reiki but the ability to channel it was lost to most until the method was rediscovered in the last century!

What can Reiki do for you?

Reiki is extremely soothing. It can dissipate headaches, relax tense muscles and calm the emotions.

Remember that a healer does not do a healing to someone, but with them!
