Reiki & Quantum Healing

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is derived from the Japanese words rei, meaning universal, and kei, meaning life energy. It is a Japanese healing art and a complementary energy therapy based on the principle that everything in the universe consists of energy that flows around and through living beings.

Reiki proposes that disruption to this energy may cause health problems and seeks to restore the balance of the energy flow to a person by sending the energy flow received by the universe.

​

A typical Usui Reiki session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. During the session, the person receiving Reiki usually lies down. Then, the practitioner gently places their hands on (with the person's consent) or just above the clothed person, in at least 12 total positions on the head and the seven main energy centers (chakras).

​

Symbols, usually drawn onto the practitioner's palm by the palm of the other hand, may be used once a practitioner reaches level 2. These symbols are said to enhance the quality of the transmitted energy and consolidate the treatment's benefits.

​

Feelings of relaxation, peacefulness, warmth, and calm are commonly reported by people who experience a Reiki session.  Reiki can release stored trauma and, thus, have an emotional response as well. ​
