What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient healing technique based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and around us. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are likely to feel stress or become sick. If the energy is high,we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki treats the whole person including body,emotions, mind and spirit and creates feelings of relaxation, peace, security and well-being.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and a wonderful way to bring harmony and balance to one’s life. Reiki complements any science-based medical or therapeutic treatments. Practitioners are found in hospitals, hospice and private practice.
Reiki was rediscovered early last century by Dr. Mikao Usui and Usui Reiki is considered the foundation of all forms of Reiki practiced worldwide. Dr. Usui aimed to live by his Principles of Reiki (below) and Reiki practitioners carry on this tradition.

energy.

Karuna Reiki
® is a system of Reiki that evolved out of Usui and Tibetan Reiki at the International Center for Reiki Training (www.reiki.org). The Sanskrit word Karuna is used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Zen. It can be translated to mean "compassionate action". This energy is very powerful but also very gentle and kind. It can work together with Usui Reiki to bring about healing at very deep levels when necessary. Remember, Reiki can do no harm and the energy works to bring about healing for the highest good of the person receiving it. Karuna Reiki® is especially beneficial for emotional issues, past trauma, addiction issues, and fear and panic. Karuna Reiki® helps us to bring peace into our lives, feel empowered and manifest our goals.
Karuna is compassionate
Reiki is a holistic therapy, which means it deals with the whole person, whether the surface issue is physical, mental/emotional or spiritual.
