Reiki (Usui, Shamballa) is an energy technique discovered and developed in Japan by a physician named Dr. Usui in the late 19th century.

This energy, called chi, is seen as the life force that surrounds everything. Practitioners are especially connected or “attuned” to chi energy, and can direct its flow into their clients and clear energy blockages. This can be done either by direct touch or by holding the hands above the body.

Reiki enhances the flow of universal energy through the body to promote healing. When used in conjunction with other manual therapies, it increases their effectiveness.

Clients might feel an increase in relaxation, increased warmth in an unblocked area, or a decrease in pain in a part of the body.

Results:

Reiki increases the benefits of bodywork by allowing healing energy or chi to flow freely throughout the body. This allows the client to return to homeostasis, or a balanced state where the whole body works together in harmony. This is the goal of all alternative health therapies.
