This treatment was given its name by Dr Usui who studied texts on ancient forms of healing with the hands for many years at a Zen monastery. At last, in a moment of deep insight during meditation, he finally understood the meaning of the texts. He went on to heal others and to teach others about Reiki.

Reiki is a natural healing therapy which allows the practitioner to channel
universal life energy to the patient to promote their own healing. Different symbols are used for different purposes, for emotional healing, for distant healing, animal healing or for the healing of past lives.

Reiki can help you in many ways, in the healing of many physical and emotional problems by strengthening the body’s own healing capabilities. It is a gentle yet effective way of enabling the universal energy that flows through all living things to pass to the receiver, helping the mind and body to heal. Reiki can bring comfort and peace in a stressful world and help you through periods of distress and exhaustion.
