REIKI

WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a system of human development and natural healing discovered in Japan by Mikao Usui in 1920. It is formally called the Usui System of Reiki Healing or Usui Shiki Ryoho in Japanese. The Usui System was brought to the United States by Chujiro Hayashi and Hawayo Takata in 1938. Reiki treatments provide touch and physical comfort, emotional support, and mental balance. Reiki also often draws people together for mutual Osupport, and alleviates the loneliness that can be part of the human experience. Reiki can balance and energize the physical body accelerating the healing process and can alleviate pain.

HOW CAN I LEARN MORE ABOUT REIKI?

Anyone can learn to do Reiki by receiving an initiation from a Reiki master. Reiki I is taught in four two-hour classes over a four-day period. The first initiation creates a relationship between the student and de Reiki energy which begins to flow through the body and hands. It is a very simple process. The students begin to practice the hand positions, first and themselves doing self treatment and then on others. The more they practice, the more they learn and grow. Reiki is not a religion-people from many different religions practice Reiki.
