What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient, gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that promotes deep relaxation, fosters healing from injury or surgery, and boosts the immune system. Although Reiki was introduced in the early 1900s by Mikao Usui, of Japan, the laying on of hands for healing purposes has been done for thousands of years -- and by many indigenous peoples.

About Life Force Energy Fields
On one level, Reiki is about spirit and being willing to receive the abundant life force energy that’s all around us. On another level, Reiki is pure physics. All entities vibrate with electro-magnetic energy at specific frequencies, including the Earth itself. These energy fields surround every living thing. These life force energy fields actually have been photographed through a technique called Kirlian Photography. Reiki is simply a method of focusing one’s intent to gather the power of that life force, or electro-magnetic, energy and channel it into people, animals, plants, food, water – anything that could benefit from an infusion of life force energy.

Experiencing Reiki
Reiki is done fully clothed on a massage table. The Reiki practitioner simply lays hands on the client’s energy centers or a specific injured area, and funnels “ki,” or life force energy, into them. Many recipients of Reiki report feelings of deep peace, and heat and “pulsing” coming from the practitioner’s hands. Some also see colors floating in their mind’s eye as they are receiving Reiki.
