Therapies - Reiki

Reiki, founded by Dr Mikao Usui, is a system which utilises the life-force (‘chi’ or ‘ki’) for the purpose of healing. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning ‘universal life-force energy’. Dr Mikao Usui was a Japanese Christian Minister in Japan. It is said that he embarked on a journey of many years in a quest to discover how Jesus miraculously healed people. Reiki’s power stems from universal lovingness and faith. The life-force within is an underlying energy force of which the universe is made. In Reiki, the practitioner will not impose his or her will on the client, which means the efficacy is greatly dependant on the will of the client to accept change and healing. It deals with energy on the sub-stratum levels of matter and thus both physiological and spiritual insight and healing can be obtained.
