WHY HOLISTIC WELLNESS?

It's no secret that the mind and body and spirit/soul/self are deeply interconnected. When we take a holistic approach to wellness, we also begin to heal emotionally and reconnect to our sense of peace and fulfillment.

HOW REIKI CAN SUPPORT YOU...

ABOUT

THE HISTORY OF REIKI

The history of energy healing goes back many millennia and its techniques are practiced—in one form or another—all over the globe.  From Hawaii to Japan, India to Tibet, Brazil to the Philippines, and in ancient Egypt and Greece, men and women have been using their hands to address all kinds of health conditions since the beginning of time.

 

Many consider Usui Sensei the creator of Reiki and that the word Reiki applies only to the healing modality he discovered and developed in Japan in the early 1900's. However, it may not be that straightforward.

-Kristen, Reiki Master Teacher from Palo Alto Reiki

 

According to Reiki.org, "In considering what should or should not be called Reiki, we must consider that not only have there been many systems of Reiki healing that are original and do not have a lineage going back to Usui Sensei, but that the Reiki energy has been around at least for thousands of years and in fact some feel it has been around since the beginning of time. Reiki energy is something that anyone can make use of and of course, many have, so with this in mind, it appears logical to assume that any system that makes use of Reiki energy can be called Reiki, not just those systems that can be traced back to Usui Sensei."

WHAT REIKI IS AND WHAT IT IS NOT

Reiki is a gentle, non-touch practice that treats the mind, body, and soul and can be supportive for any living thing, at any age, for any reason.

​

Reiki is NOT intended to replace any doctor-approved treatment plan. Your practitioner is not a licensed physician. Reiki is a complementary therapy, and as such, does not require licensing by the state of California. Reiki is not associated with any religion.
