What is Usui Shiki Ryōhō Reiki?

Translated, it means “The Usui System of Natural Healing”. Reiki is a system of energy healing that was discovered, defined, and developed in Japan. Therefore, it uses elements derived from Japanese culture such as Shinto, Esoteric Buddhism and the traditional medicine of Japan and China to explain how it works and to define its goals.

Mikao Usui

Reiki was “re-discovered” by Mikao Usui in the early 1900's. Some sources indicate that Mikao Usui was a Christian monk. The traditional story goes that after a sermon, he was approached by two of his students seeking to understand how Christ healed people. Confounded by his inability to explain or show how Christ healed, Mikao Usui embarked on a quest in which he spent many years researching and studying Christian and Buddhist teachings.

Benefits of Reiki

Homeostasis

The practice of healing is that of becoming whole on all levels of being including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Illness happens when the mind, body and spirit become unbalanced.

Rejuvenation and Vitality

Reiki works with you to restore energetic balance and repair things like blockages and tears in the energy field which create disease and unhappiness. In most cases Reiki does enhance the effects of medical treatment when used in conjunction with it.

Relaxation

The use of Reiki as a relaxation and stress reducing technique is becoming more greatly accepted and widespread. In addition to its use in supporting treatment of illness and injury, Reiki enhances other body work and healing techniques and sports performance as well as assisting with spiritual development.
