Reiki

Reiki is a practice of energy healing that originates from Japan and focuses on transferring “universal energy” from the practitioner to the patient to enhance the body’s natural healing process. This modern holistic approach based on the principle that manipulating the flow of energy can improve one’s health and well-being was developed in the 1920’s by Mikao Usui. The positive outcomes found through Reiki; relief from stress, pain, and emotional distress are met with reasonably strong support through testimonies that authenticate the healing benefits. Although there is limited scientific validation, Reiki is implemented alongside medical practices and techniques as a “complimentary” practice that supports one’s overall healing and wellness.
