THE ROOTS OF REIKI
The story of Reiki started in Japan as a way to connect with the energy, called "Ki," that flows through all living things.
The idea spread that by channeling these rays from the universe, we could boost our own vitality.
Today, Reiki is used all over the world to help people ease stress and improve their feeling of wellness.

Reiki is a Japanese word that can be translated in a few different ways!
“Rei” = soul, life, spirit, mysterious, pure
“Ki” = mind, energy, invisible life force, vital energy connected to breath.
I like to think of it as life force energy guided by the soul or universe.

Reiki originates from Japan and was developed into the Reiki system over 100 years ago by Mikao Usui.
It is based on the concept of universal life energy and is used to promote balance, healing, and relaxation.
Usui developed Reiki after a spiritual experience on Mount Kurama, where he gained insight into how energy could be used to heal. He then created a system of energy healing that could be taught to others. Reiki was later introduced to the West through Hawayo Takata, a Japanese-American woman who trained in Japan and brought the practice to the United States in the 1930s.
Since then, Reiki has evolved into different styles, including Usui Reiki, Holy Fire® III Reiki, and Karuna® Reiki, which I am trained in. Despite its evolution, Reiki remains deeply rooted in its traditional Japanese origins. I practice and am trained in a style that is closely connected with the Japanese founder.

You do not need to hold any specific beliefs to experience the benefits of Reiki. This is an energy field practice that works with your body's natural ability to heal and restore balance.
The founder, Mikao Usui, was a Buddhist, however today Reiki is widely used as a stress-reduction technique and you do not need to believe in anything.
Many people, regardless of their personal beliefs, find Reiki to be a deeply relaxing and restorative experience. The effectiveness of Reiki does not depend on your belief in it, and it can be beneficial even if you approach it with an open but neutral mindset.
I do believe in the role of spiritual wellness in our overall wellness, but we can find connection in anything - our minds, in nature, or the stars and the universe.
