Reiki is a traditional work in healing touch. Common concepts within Reiki are an understanding of a universal energy, universal knowing, and importance of touch to the human experience. Reiki is passed from master to student, and can be traced back to the Reiki master, Mikao Usui from Japan. Lineage and tradition of Usui Reiki are passed through coursework, attunements, and lived experiences facilitated by a master practitioner to their students. Each practitioner is encouraged to incorporate their own talents to the time honored traditional aspects of therapeutic touch. Influences on Reiki seem to originate from India, Tibet, and China. The Chakra bodies and ether body are guide posts in sequencing and focus of sessions.

     Reiki typically begins with grounding exercises that may include breath work or visual meditation. Then, with consent, the provider will begin the session of therapeutic touch and energy passing. The practitioner may offer direct touch or may allow hands to hover over the area of focus. The session will close with a grounding technique. Depending on the Reiki practitioner’s skill set, crystals, aroma therapy, meditation, or yoga may be integrated into sessions to amplify or enhance healing.
