Reiki (pronounced ray -key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki was discovered by Mikao Usui in 1922, so it has been around for a century! During a Reiki session, the practitioner uses a light touch to balance energy and bring in healing energy wherever it is needed in the body of the receiver. The word Rei means universal and Ki means Life Energy. Everything is made up of energy and when our body has a block due to pain, trauma, injury or emotion – Reiki can help move that energy and bring relaxation, stress reduction and healing.
Reiki is indeed a beautiful practice that emphasizes the importance of energy balance for overall well-being. By creating a calming environment with sound healing and aromatherapy, practitioners can enhance the experience, allowing clients to relax deeply and receive the healing energy they need. The use of crystals can further amplify this energy, making each session uniquely restorative. Whether someone is dealing with physical discomfort, emotional stress, or simply seeking relaxation, Reiki can offer a gentle yet powerful way to support healing and harmony within the body.
