What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is based on the idea that a universal energy flows through all living things. A Reiki practitioner can help the flow of this energy and promote healing.
A Brief History of Reiki
Reiki is an ancient healing technique that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. It was founded by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk. Usui rediscovered the practice of Reiki through meditation and spiritual practices. He developed a system of attunement, a process by which Reiki energy is transmitted to a practitioner, enabling them to channel this energy to others.
