All about reiki

---

Reiki is an ancient energetic healing technique with roots found in ancient Egypt. But the Usui lineage was rediscovered in the late 1800's by a man named Mikao Usui.

Rei meaning universal life force and ki meaning energy.

The reiki practitioner goes through a series of training and energetic attunements in order to become "channels" for the reiki frequencies.

The reiki energy works within the subtle energy body which helps to bring balance and restoration to the physical and emotional bodies.

One way to think about reiki is to think about the sensation you feel when hugging someone that you love so very much. The energy exchange is uplifting and can really improve everything. Reiki is much like that, but the energy source comes directly from the universe.

Reiki is a very personal experience and varies for each person. In my own personal practice I have found reiki is especially helpful with releasing stored up emotions and stagnant energy within the  body.

Reiki is like any other practice, the benefits are seen and felt with consistent practice. 

There are a number of studies on reiki and some of it is conflicting, but what I have found in my research regardless of the conflict, Reiki does no harm and at the very least helps the body to relax. When the body is relaxed, it's able to function better. And when our body is functioning optimally, it improves our overall quality of life.

Reiki is an excellent addition to your wellness journey!
