Reiki is a treatment consisting of laying the hands on the body in a set pattern and allowing the life energy to flow to the person being treated through the hands.

The basic element of life energy is the fundamental nature of this healing practice. Because this is so, Reiki can be used in any situation where there is a desire for and openness to healing. The mode of treatment is simple but very thorough.

Human beings are energy systems. If we accept this, then life energy is the essential and most basic element of the human energy system. We suffer when we don't have enough energy to carry out our daily functions or when we, as energy systems, are out of balance. A Reiki treatment increases our supply of life energy and we return to balance. In this state of balance when our energy is renewed, healing can take place.

The practice of Usui System of Reiki healing balances and strengthens the functions and health of the physical body, enhances relaxation and self-awareness, and quiets and nourishes the spirit.

Applying Reiki is practical and useful. It increases and strengthens any healing process from bruising to chronic illness to mental or emotional imbalance. Reiki can be used at any time and in any situation when we can lay our hands on ourselves or another.
