What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing practice that originated in Japan in the late 1800s, founded by Dr. Mikao Usui. The word Reiki combines two Japanese terms: Rei, meaning “universal” or “spiritually guided,” and Ki, meaning “life force energy.” Together, Reiki translates to “spiritually guided life force energy.”

This healing art is not tied to any specific religion or belief system. Instead, it works with the natural flow of life force energy that exists in all beings and throughout nature. Everything in our world living and non-living carries this energy, and when it's flowing freely, we experience greater harmony, health, and inner peace.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner serves as a channel for this universal energy, allowing it to flow through their hands to the recipient. The energy naturally goes where it’s most needed, helping to release energetic blockages, restore balance, and support healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.

Reiki encourages a deep connection with yourself. As this energy moves through you, it nurtures your ability to heal from within and radiate that balanced energy outward. It’s a beautiful invitation to return to your natural state of wholeness grounded, connected, and alive.
