Reiki Training

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-near) energy healing practice that supports balance in the body, mind, and nervous system. The word Reiki comes from Japanese terms meaning universal and life energy.

Rather than manipulating or forcing change, Reiki works by encouraging the body’s natural ability to restore harmony. Many people experience deep relaxation, emotional ease, and a greater sense of clarity during or after a session.

Reiki is a complementary wellness practice and does not replace medical care.

​

Roots of Reiki

Reiki was formalized in Japan in the early 1900s by Mikao Usui. Traditionally, Reiki was practiced as a spiritual discipline focused on self-healing, ethical living, and mindful awareness. Healing others was seen as an extension of one’s own personal practice.

Reiki is passed through attunements, which support the practitioner’s ability to work with energy intentionally and safely.
