WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a healing practice founded in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.  It is a relaxing, non-invasive and gentle therapy that can be used in conjunction with traditional medical care.  The recipient is in a chair or therapy couch, fully clothed, as Reiki energy will pass through all things, the therapist either gently lays hands on the recipient or above, to allow the energy to pass through. Reiki can be used on everyone including new-born babies as it is totally safe. 
The benefits are both physical and mental balance and wellbeing and can be beneficial to anyone undergoing medical treatment or wishing to improve their lives.
In many countries Reiki has now been adopted in hospitals and care centres as well as animal shelters as a supporting therapy.
