Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki as we know it today Reiki Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Like shiatsu, it involves influencing and strengthening a person or animal's life force, or Chi (sometimes spelled Qi or Ki). This is achieved by the placement of the practitioner’s hands on non-intrusive parts of the body, in order to focus and channel the energy. This traditional Japanese healing art complements Shiatsu perfectly. When we are unwell or stressed our cells vibrate at a different frequency, causing changes in our magnetic field. Reiki channels the universal energy to boost the natural ability of the body to heal itself. It rebalances the energy centres (Chakras) by helping the cells return to their normal vibration level. It can take a few treatments until a change is seen, although the relaxing benefit of the treatment should be felt straight away. Reiki can help with all sorts of conditions within animals and humans, physically, mentally and emotionally. It is completely safe, with no adverse side effects. It has been known to succeed where all other treatments have failed. I have studied Reiki based on the teachings of Dr. Mikao Usui, who rediscovered Reiki in the middle of the nineteenth century in Japan. I am a fully qualified Reiki Master and Teacher.
