“It was explained to me this way: Here is the great space surrounding us - the Universe. There is endless and enormous energy. It is universal…it can stem from the sun, the moon, or the stars. It is a limitless force. It is the source of energy that makes the plants grow… the birds fly.
When humans have pain or problems, they can draw from it. It is an ethereal source, a wavelength of great power that can revitalize and restore harmony.”

Reiki is Universal Life Energy - it transcends all boundaries, including religion. It permeates every living thing. Reiki practice is a simple, natural process. With the guidance and initiation of a teacher, anyone can practice Reiki. The Reiki attunements from a teacher enable practitioners to channel and give Reiki energy. In Reiki, practitioners never give or take personal energy from recipients, and always feel better after practicing on themselves and others.
Reiki works on the energetic level. It supports all physical, mental, and emotional healing. Reiki is not a replacement for medical or psychological care, but complements those treatments.
