🌿What is Reiki? 

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing technique that promotes balance in the body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in the Japanese words rei (universal) and ki (life energy), Reiki is based on the idea that life force energy flows through all living things. When this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional imbalance. Reiki helps to clear these blockages, restore flow, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Though often categorized as an energy therapy, Reiki is truly holistic — touching body, mind, emotions, and spirit. It’s used to reduce stress, relieve pain, enhance mental clarity, deepen sleep, and promote emotional well-being.

In this practice, your experience may be enhanced through sound bowls (also called singing bowls), which create rich, harmonic vibrations that work in tandem with the Reiki energy. The frequencies produced by sound bowls help entrain the brain into a meditative state and resonate through the body to dissolve energy blockages. This pairing of touchless energy work and vibrational sound makes for a deeply immersive healing journey.

🌸 A Wholesome Practice for the Whole Self

Reiki isn’t just a “treatment” — it’s an experience. Clients often describe it as feeling like a warm glow, a deep sense of peace, or even an emotional release. Whether you're working through physical pain, emotional tension, or spiritual stagnation, Reiki provides a safe and sacred space for energetic realignment and self-connection.

  • 🌙 A Glimpse Into the History

    Reiki was developed in Japan in the early 1920s by Mikao Usui, a Buddhist who sought to understand how Jesus and Buddha performed healing. After a 21-day meditation and fasting retreat on Mount Kurama, Usui is said to have received the ability to channel universal healing energy — what we now know as Reiki. From there, it was passed down through students and eventually made its way to the West in the late 1930s, where it has grown into a widely accepted complementary wellness practice.

  • đź•Š Who Is Reiki For?

    Reiki is for anyone seeking peace, clarity, release, or restoration. It’s safe and supportive for:

    • Stress relief and anxiety

    • Physical pain or tension

    • Emotional overwhelm

    • Recovery and resilience

    • Inner growth and spiritual exploration

    There’s no belief system required. You simply need to show up with an open heart.

  • 🌀 Types of Reiki

    While all Reiki shares the same foundation, there are several branches and techniques your girlfriend may draw from:

    • Usui Reiki – The original Japanese system founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It forms the basis for most modern Reiki training.

    • Karuna Reiki – A heart-centered practice that works with deeper emotional healing and compassion.

    • Holy Fire Reiki – A more recent evolution of Usui Reiki, said to be more refined and spiritually guided.

    • Crystal Reiki – Incorporates crystals placed on or near the body to amplify and direct energy.

    • Sound Healing + Reiki – Uses tonal frequencies to deepen the therapeutic effects of the session.

    (Confirm which of these she practices — or if she blends modalities intuitively, we can phrase that too.)
