Reiki

Service Description

The word "Reiki" means "mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign." It comes from the Japanese words "rei" universal and "ki" life energy. Reiki is a type of energy healing that targets the energy fields around the body. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Improving the flow of energy around the body, can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness. Reiki has been around for thousands of years. Its current form was first developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui, who reportedly taught 2,000 people the Reiki method during his lifetime. The practice spread to the U.S. through Hawaii in the 1940s, and then to Europe in the 1980s. --Tim Newman, Medical News Today
