Reiki
Reiki is a ancient Japanese form of energy healing, which is a subset of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing. Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.
The history of Usui Reiki begins with the one who first brought Reiki to the masses, Dr. Mikao Usui. Sometimes called the Usui Sensei, Dr. Mikao Usui was born to a wealthy Buddhist family in 1865. Dr. Usui's family was able to give their son a well-rounded education for the time. As a child, Dr. Usui studied in a Buddhist monastery where he was taught martial arts, swordsmanship, and the Japanese form of Chi Kung, known as Kiko. Throughout his education, Dr. Usui had an interest in medicine, psychology, and theology. It was this interest that prompted him to seek a way to heal himself and others using the laying on of hands. It was his desire to find a method of healing that was unattached to any specific religion and religious belief so that his system would be accessible to everyone.
Our Approach
We believe that gaining an understanding of energy and developing mindfulness of ones own energy is essential to promoting health and stability ones self. Reiki is a gateway to healing and self-actualization as it focuses on your chakra system and opening up the channels which energy must be able to pass through without blockage or strain. We believe that this level of healing and understanding should be open to and taught to all ages. Children are oftentimes naturally in tune with healing energy, and the earlier one can grasp these concepts, the better. Our methods of reiki are focused on cleansing, healing, increasing intuition, and knowledge of self.
