What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural healing technique using high-frequency energy and one of the simplest natural healing methods we know.

Life energy flows through our body whether we think about it or not. During a Reiki session, people feel an inner movement and bliss — a clear “flow” — meaning we are connecting more deeply with universal strength. Others do not feel it so directly, but notice changes through a sense of peace, happiness, lightness, and inner joy. That is Reiki, and everyone experiences it in their own way.

The name Reiki — in Japanese, Universal Life Energy — is used today in several meanings. On one hand, Reiki refers to the Universal Life Energy that flows around and within us. On the other, it refers to the ability to activate that energy, direct it, and apply it consciously, in order to (re)establish energetic balance and support overall healing.

For us humans, this means stimulating innate talents and creative abilities. Reiki awakens and strengthens what already exists within us as a foundation, opens doors to our gifts, expands creative horizons, and encourages creativity. For some, it simply helps them live more at ease or relate more harmoniously to themselves and the world around them.

Every person, every living being possesses this Universal Life Energy. We are born with it. Through a Reiki attunement we gain a strengthened and more conscious access to that source of life.

As modern physics confirms, everything — even what we call matter — is energy. Although we perceive ourselves as beings with solid bodies, we are in fact Life Energy. And the more Life Energy we “are,” the more we “live” — the more present, stronger, and more fulfilled with love we become.

Reiki can build a wonderful bridge toward a more meditative, more conscious, more vibrant, and more beautiful life.
