What is Reiki?
Reiki, pronounced “ray-key” is a Japanese energetic healing technique developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. The word Reiki combines “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy), referring to the universal life force that flows through all living beings. Reiki practitioners channel this energy through them (basically as a conduit) to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, helping to restore balance and reduce stress.
It is non-invasive, gentle, and suitable for everyone! Making it an ideal starting point for those exploring holistic wellness. Sessions typically involve a practitioner lightly placing their hands on or above the body to facilitate energy flow, often leaving recipients feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
5 Principles of Reiki
At the heart of Reiki are 5 guiding principles that encourage mindful living. These are:
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
These principles promote emotional balance and mindfulness, serving as a foundation for personal growth and healing.
