Reiki was devised by a Tibetan Buddhist and later rediscovered and developed by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan in the 1880’s. Reiki teaching began in the West in the 1970’s.
Reiki works by channelling energy called Chi and practitioners are trained to detect and then release energy blockages in the body to encourage balance and harmony.
Many physical, emotional and spiritual ailments can be helped with this therapy and clinical trials have shown that Reiki can help reduce pain and discomfort in the body.
