Energy healing is known in all cultures. Some of the most historically recorded are that of Jesus in Catholic history, Buddha, in the Eastern Religions and Kabbalah in the Jewish religion. The Old Testament refers to light around people. Native American cultures have worked with energy for over 5000 years.
In the 3rd millennium BC the Chinese posted the existence of vital energy, “chi”.

Reiki is a healing system for personal growth and spiritual enlightenment through energy work. Like a candle, which can light more candles without being extinguished, it operates on a principle of abundance. Pathways of energy are consistently and constantly flowing into our bodies entering through the top of our head, the crown chakra and supplying us with universal energy. Wherever a person attuned to Reiki places their hands, a high level of energy flows. The Reiki practitioner is a channel for the energy to pass as per the clients needs.

Unconsciously the client draws into their body the energy as the need. The Reiki practitioner intuitively places their hands in various positions on the client and the Reiki flows in abundance. Reiki knows all and is all. It knows where it must go within the physical, mental and emotional centres to shine a light of healing.

Dr Usui developed the 5 Reiki principles as a guide for spiritual development.
