Reiki is performed upon request. Rei-ki (pronounced Ray-key), is a system of natural healing involving the laying on of hands, and is probably thousands of years old. It is believed that the technique was first used by Tibetan monks and was re-discovered in the 1800’s by Dr Mikao-Usui. The Usui system of reiki is a very simple but powerful healing technique that can easily be received by anyone. The receiver of reiki does not need to have any kind of special faith or belief. Reiki states that while everything in life has “Chi” (or “Prana” in Sanskrit and “Mana” in Hawaiian), a reiki treatment connects the receiver to this channel of universal healing energy. The reiki helps to create changes of old beliefs and a new sense of well-being is generally experienced. The client will find himself or herself with a renewed enthusiasm for life.
