Reiki is a healing practice where practitioners use their hands to balance your body’s energy physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, the word “reiki” means “universal life energy” in Japanese. Reiki promotes relaxation and a meditative state, aids healing after injury or surgery, boosts the immune system and natural self-healing, relieves pain and tension, supports those undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, or dialysis, and complements other therapies to enhance overall healing.
