REIKI
What to expect
A typical Reiki session involves a client lying down fully clothed while a Reiki practitioner gently places their hands on or near the recipient's body. The practitioner acts as a conduit for the universal life energy, allowing it to flow through them and into the recipient. This energy stimulates the body's natural healing abilities while inducing relaxation and stress reduction.
During a session, recipients often report feeling sensations such as warmth, tingling, or a sense of deep relaxation. Some even experience emotional releases or gain insights into their life challenges. Each Reiki session is unique and tailored to the individual's needs.

The Origins of Reiki
Reiki, pronounced "ray-kee," is a Japanese word that can be translated to "universal life energy" or "spiritually guided life force energy." The practice of Reiki dates back to the early 20th century, when it was developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk. According to legend, Usui underwent a spiritual awakening on Mount Kurama, during which he received the knowledge and symbols that form the basis of Reiki healing.
Reiki Principles
Reiki operates on the belief that all living beings are interconnected by a universal life force energy. When this energy flows freely, individuals experience health and vitality. However, blockages and imbalances in this energy can lead to physical and emotional ailments. Reiki practitioners use specific techniques to harness and direct this energy to restore balance and promote healing.
The practice of Reiki is guided by five core principles which serve as a moral and spiritual guide for practitioners:
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
