🌿 What Is Usui Reiki?

Usui Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 1900s, developed by Mikao Usui. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words:

  • "Rei" meaning universal or spiritual wisdom

  • "Ki" meaning life energy

Together, Reiki translates to “universal life energy.”

Reiki works by supporting the body’s natural ability to heal physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. During a session, the practitioner channels this energy through their hands to the client, encouraging balance, relaxation, and energetic flow.

💫 What to Expect in a Session

Reiki sessions are typically quiet and relaxing, with the client lying fully clothed on a massage table. You may feel warmth, tingling, or simply a deep sense of peace. Some people experience emotional release, mental clarity, or a feeling of “coming home” to themselves.

There is no belief system required to receive Reiki — it works alongside any faith, medical treatment, or therapy.
