What is Reiki ?
Curious about Reiki?
Great! Here’s some info to get you started…
What is Reiki?
- Reiki is pronounced ray-key.
- Reiki is a healing method that can be used both in-person, with the practitioner’s hands laid on the body, and via distance.
- It brings stress-relief and relaxation and also encourages healing.
Where did it come from?
- The Reiki system of healing was developed in Japan in the early 1900s by a man named Mikao Usui.
- The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words that roughly translate to “Universal Life Force Energy.”
What does Reiki mean?
- Rei refers to Universal wisdom, meaning that it comes from the Divine or the higher self.
- Ki is the non-physical energy that gives life to all living things.
- That means that Reiki is life force energy that is guided by Divine wisdom so that it always goes where it’s needed and is always for the highest good of the recipient!
- Ki is also known as Chi, Prana, and the Holy Spirit.
- Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of Ki energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being.
- We are actually able to see this energy by using Kirlian photography!
What does Reiki do?
- Reiki is a holistic practice. That means it works on the body, mind and spirit and it stimulates a person’s own natural healing abilities.
- It helps to release and remove physical, emotional, mental and spiritual blocks that restrict or stop the flow of Ki. If these blocks are left untreated, they can lead to illness and dis-ease.
- But by using Reiki, the mind, body and spirit come back into balance, and therefore, self-healing occurs.
- In this process, harmful blocks are often released, once again restoring a healthy flow of Ki though all of the layers of being.
- It can also help prevent future creation of illness and dis-ease by keeping the Ki flowing clear and strong.
Why should I try Reiki?
- While many cultures have developed techniques and disciplines that stimulate the flow of Ki energy in and around the body, Reiki is one of the easiest to receive.
- Reiki can never do any harm because it comes from the Divine.
- Reiki energy always goes where it is needed so it always can do the most good!
- The techniques used in Reiki are simple yet powerful, and the results it yields are often remarkable.
- The best way to understand how Reiki works is to experience it!
A Healing Method with a Solid Track Record
Reiki has been in use for almost 100 years and during that time it has helped to heal almost every illness and injury in existence from headaches to heart disease.
But perhaps even more importantly, it has helped countless people experience stress relief and relaxation. This has allowed their minds, bodies and spirits, to come back into balance, and therefore, heal themselves.
Plus, Reiki is completely safe, has no adverse side effects, is suitable for all ages, doesn’t interfere with any medical treatments and feels sooo good! 
In a research study conducted at Hartford Hospital, located in Hartford, CT* it was shown that Reiki:
- Improved Sleep By… 86%
- Reduced Pain By… 78%
- Reduced Nausea By… 80%
- Reduced Anxiety During Pregnancy By… 94%
The comprehensive Reiki Therapy program that Hartford Hospital currently runs, also indicates that Reiki promotes:
- Deep relaxation
- Reduced anxiety
- Reduced muscle tension
- Reduced pain
- Accelerated wound healing
- Wellness
- A greater sense of well-being
- They also find it to be useful during illness, after injuries, and both pre- and post-op, in addition to general health promotion.
15% of U.S. hospitals, that's over 800 hospitals, offer Reiki as a regular part of their patient services
Reiki’s Light Is Rising
- Reiki’s gentle, radiant energy is being welcomed everywhere — from healing centers to hospitals — as people rediscover its timeless power.
- Doctors, nurses, and healers alike are recognizing Reiki as a bridge between modern medicine and ancient wisdom, bringing peace, balance, and renewal.
- Reiki reminds us that healing is our natural state — and when energy flows freely, transformation follows.

There are many benefits of Reiki…
Here are just a few!
Promotes Relaxation
There’s almost nothing as relaxing as Reiki! Imagine your most successful meditation session or the best massage ever…and triple it!
Amazing Stress Relief Tool
Reiki helps to balance your mind, body and spirit, making everyday stressors more manageable. Now, all of the sudden, that important meeting or traffic jam doesn’t make you want to scream!
Completely Non-Invasive
Without the use of medication, surgeries, drugs or tissue manipulation, Reiki gently, yet effectively, encourages healing on every level.
Plays Well With Others
Reiki is safe and can be complementary to any other type of healing modality, including Western medicine.
Creates Balance
Reiki allows the body to heal itself! It enables you to release the energetic blocks that are keeping you from the wellness and life you desire and deserve.
Perfect For YOU!
I could list the benefits of Reiki ’til I’m blue in the face! But the bottom line is that the benefits you receive from Reiki will be individual to you and exactly what you need to support you in that moment. This is why I always say “The best way to understand Reiki is to experience it!”
