Reiki is a traditional Japanese energy practice that can be traced back to around 1200 BC during the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) when the hanzi ideograms for Rei and Ki were first introduced to Japan. In the early 19th century, Reiki Master Mikao Usui developed Usui Reiki, combining ancient spiritual practices with the understanding that everyone has an unseen universal "life force energy" that flows through their bodies and practising simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony called the precepts of Reiki can help bring peace, happiness and health to oneself and others and the universe.

​

To deepen his personal and spiritual development, Usuis completed a self-directed 21-day practice of prayer, fasting and meditation on Mount Kurama in North Japan called the discipline of prayer and fasting. It was during this time Usui experienced a profound life-changing spiritual experience that led to the development of Usui Reiki, which is one of the most trusted and universally practised forms of Reiki today.

​​

While the practice and experience of Reiki require no formal faith or system of belief, Reiki promotes the easement of physical and emotional stress by releasing held tension within the body through the gentle and intuitive placement of Reiki hand positions, held both on and over your clothed body, to help raise your energetic vibration by focusing and guiding Reiki Energy towards several specific energy centres, to restore the natural rhythm, balance and energetic connection between the body, mind and spirit.

While receiving Reiki, clients have shared a sense of deep relaxation, emotional calmness and an overall feeling of peace and wellbeing and sensations of warmth, coolness, tingling and seeing colours.​
