Reiki is an energy-based healing art that works with the Universal Life Force – ki. Ki is also known as qi or chi. It reconnects us to the ever-present animating energy that keeps the universe evolving, providing us positive vibes, cleansing stuckness, and providing general well-being.

Reiki was discovered / founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early part of the 20th century in Japan. Dr. Usui had a satori experience, and emerged to teach Reiki to the world. Dr. Usui enshrined certain hand positions that I still use in practicing Reiki.

One of the precious characteristics of Reiki is that it does no harm. The Reiki energy finds its way to whatever parts of the body, psyche, and mind that need healing, and there it does the work.
