Understanding Energy Healing
What Is Reiki?
An ancient Japanese healing art that channels universal life force energy to restore balance and promote natural healing.
The Meaning of Reiki
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning "universal life energy." It combines two words: Rei (universal, spiritual) and Ki (life force energy).
Developed in Japan in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui, Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing technique that works with the energy fields in and around the body.
A Reiki practitioner serves as a channel for this healing energy, directing it to where it's needed most in the recipient's body, mind, and spirit.
The Science & Spirit of Reiki
Have you ever noticed how some days you feel "charged up" and ready for anything, while other days even a small task feels heavy? That is your life energy at work. Known as Qi, Ki, or Prana across different cultures, this unseen flow is the battery that powers your health.
When your energy is low, stress feels louder, sleep stays out of reach, and your body’s natural defenses can drop. But when that flow is strong? You feel resilient, centered, and vibrant.
Grounded in Research
While Reiki feels like a spiritual embrace, its results are being recognized by some of the most respected institutions in the world. Did you know that Reiki is a required subject at the Yale University School of Nursing?
Research is catching up to what healers have known for centuries. A 2018 Harvard study confirmed that Reiki significantly reduces depression in adults. Even more incredible, studies at Hartford Hospital showed that Reiki helped:
- Improve sleep by 86%
- Reduce pain by 78%
- Lower anxiety during pregnancy by 94%

The Science & Spirit
How Reiki Works
Everything in the universe is made of energy, vibrating at different frequencies. When our energy becomes blocked, stagnant, or depleted—through stress, trauma, illness, or negative emotions—we experience dis-ease in our physical, emotional, or spiritual bodies.
Reiki works by channeling high-frequency healing energy into these areas of imbalance. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body, allowing the energy to flow where it's needed most.
Unlike other healing modalities, Reiki energy is intelligent—it knows exactly where to go and what to do. The practitioner simply acts as a conduit, while the recipient's own body directs the healing process.
Your Session
What to Expect
During a Reiki session, you'll lie comfortably clothed on a massage table. The practitioner will place their hands lightly on or just above various positions on your body.
Common experiences include:
- Deep relaxation and peace
- Warmth or tingling sensations
- Emotional release
- Seeing colors or images
- Falling into a meditative state
Each session is unique, and the energy works according to what you need most at that moment.
