In general, Reiki is a method of using universal energy – or energy that is all around us and in everything we know – in order to affect positive change in the mind, soul and body of the client. Reiki directly affects stress and tension, reducing blockages so that healing can occur.
The originally Japanese healing style originated with Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is two Japanese words Rei and Ki translated roughly into Divine and Life Force. Reiki training and attunements are passed from Reiki Master to student all the way back to Dr. Usui who taught Reiki to his own willing students. Students typically go through several levels of training before they are equipped to become a ‘Master’ and able to attune others.
