What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of holistic healing. Reiki (pronounced ‘ray key’) means ‘universal life energy’ – this is the energy that exists in all things.

This energy is known by different names including Chi in Chinese culture, Prana in Hindu, and healing light in Christian teachings. Everything that has life contains Reiki energy and it can be channelled by a Reiki practitioner to promote the body’s natural healing ability.

A Reiki practitioner has been attuned to access this energy and channel it by placing their hands on the recipient. Reiki energy will flow where it is needed the most in the recipient’s body to release blocked energy, flush out toxins, and bring balance to their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states.

Reiki does not replace conventional medicine, however, it is a non-invasive complementary therapy that can help to ease pain and aid in the healing process whilst bringing relaxation and a feeling of overall wellbeing.
