What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Energy". This energy is in the world around us, is within all living things, and also surrounds us (the aura). It runs through the earth, plants, animals, humans. The proper flow and amount of this energy is essential to our health and well-being. It is when there is not enough life energy or it is moving too slowly that illness can result. And this is where Reiki comes in.

Reiki is a form of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of one nineteenth-century man: Dr Mikao Usui. All Reiki Healers can trace their lineage back to Dr Usui. There is no belief system attached to Reiki - anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment.

Reiki restores our life energy so our bodies can heal, or stay healthy. Reiki Healers channel this energy from the Divine and into the client's body.

All Reiki Healers hold to the following principles:

Just for today, do not worry.
Just for today, do not anger.
Honour your parents, teachers and elders.
Earn your living honestly.
Show gratitude to every living thing.
