What is Reiki?
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese system of healing touch. Literally translated, Reiki means Universal Lifeforce Energy. Reiki is a natural healing technique that uses light touch to transmit this healing energy. During a session, Reiki energy goes into a practitioner, out the hands, and into another person through energy centers in the body called chakras. Reiki energy creates a state of deep relaxation that restores and vitalizes the body.

What occurs in a Reiki Session?
A Reiki treatment is non-invasive and completely painless. During the hour long session, you remain fully clothed and will be asked to lie on a massage table. Using light touch, the Reiki practitioner will gently rest his/her hands on various part of the body. You may feel a sensation of warmth or vibration from the practitioner's hands. Clients have described Reiki treatments as deeply relaxing and often fall asleep.

How often can you receive Reiki?
There is no limit to the number of Reiki sessions you may have. You cannot receive too much Reiki energy because your body only absorbs the healing energy it needs. Weekly visits are common. However, for chronic or problematic conditions, three sessions over three days are done for optimal healing affect. If you wish, a customized plan can be discussed after the initial session.

The Usui System
It is said that Reiki originated in ancient Tibet thousands of years ago. It was not until the late eighteen hundreds, however, that Reiki was introduced to the modern world. Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddist monk, rediscovered this ancient healing technique and developed the "Usui System of Natural Healing". It is this system that is used today in the training and practice of Reiki.
