The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century with roots stretching back more than two thousand years.

So what is Reiki?

It is a natural healing energy that works on every level, not just the physical, and is understood to promote the body's regenerative self-healing ability.

Energy explained.

We live in a world of energy that nourishes and maintains all living things. When this energy flows uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us and we experience a sense of well-being.

Is it part of a particular belief?

Reiki is a tradition that is open to any belief system. Research using animals and even bacteria suggests benefits for stress-based conditions. (this is energy healing and no experiments are performed on any animals to cause)

Can it replace other forms of treatment?
