Reiki, or the Usui System of Natural Healing is a Japanese Healing Art. This form was founded in Japan a
little over 100 years ago a by Mikao Usui, whose personal search to understand healing led him to Reiki. It is passed on from Master to student through teachings, a defined form of practice and initiation.
The Japanese word ‘reiki’ can be translated as ‘universal life energy’ and the Usui System is a way of working
with reiki for healing of self and others. The word healing is used in the sense of regaining harmony and
wholeness. Reiki addresses the whole person on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
The treatment form consists of hand positions held for a few minutes in a specific order. Reiki sessions can be performed face to face (hands on healing by placing hands on the body) or online (through distant healing and using Reiki symbols).
