Reiki

This Japanese healing technique is also called the energy of healing hands. The origins of this practice lie in the early 20th century. Developed by Mikao Usui, reiki is derived from two Japanese words, “Rei” which means universal, and “Ki” meaning life force energy. The practice of reiki is based on the belief that the life force, the one that flows through all living beings could sometimes face disruptions. These blocks lead to physical, mental, or spiritual imbalances and troubles.

Practice of Reiki

In this practice, hands are used to channel energy into a person’s body. During a session, the reiki practitioner will lie down the recipient and place hands above specific areas. The idea is to remove energy blockages from these areas, balance out the life energy, and help bring harmony.
