WHAT IS REIKI?
“Reiki” (ray – key) is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy,” or the energy found in all things. The Usui System of Reiki Healing, or Usui Shiki Ryoho, applies this energy through gentle touch or long-distance treatments for the purpose of balancing min, body and spirit.
In her early diary, Hawayo Takata, the woman who brought the Usui System of Reiki out of Japan, stated, “This power (Reiki) is unfathomable, immeasurable, and being a universal life force, it is incomprehensible to man. Yet, every single living being is receiving its blessings daily, awake and asleep.”
In 1994, the National Institute of Health, defined Reiki as a biofield therapy. A biofield is a subtle field that both permeates and extends beyond the physical body. When our biofield is out of balance, we’re out of balance. Disease, fatigue, and apathy all reflect a compromised biofield. When something improves our biofield, it can increase our mental and physical performance, reinforce our natural immunity to stress and enhance our sense of well-being.

I incorporated it into my therapy with my own patients, and undertook more formal training as a Reiki Practitioner myself. I have found Kumari to be both an excellent teacher and a very powerful Practitioner. I was also most impressed by her level of integrity.” — Peter Holyk., MD Contemporary Health Innovations, FL |
What Is Reiki Supposed To Do?
The Usui System of Reiki can be a personal tool for healing and growth, a way to give energy to family, friends, and animals, or a gentle complementary therapy in holistic medicine.
A Reiki treatment supports the whole person — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is simple to learn and can be applied in a clinical setting, given as self-treatments, or used as a “home remedy” to enhance health and emotional well-being.
When a Reiki practitioner places his/her hands on an area of their own or a client’s clothed body, Reiki flows through the practitioner into the client. This transfer may be felt as any type of sensation—heat, cold, vibration, tingling, unusual heaviness, or sometimes as no sensation at all.
Reiki has specifically been documented to relax muscles, still the mind, and ease pain. Hands-on treatment has been scientifically proven to accelerate healing. Many health professionals are effectively incorporating the use of Reiki into their individual practices.
| “I have never felt energy this powerful, this quickly. My shoulder pain, which I had for many months, went fully away in a just a few minutes of treatment. You are truly amazing!!!!! The next time it occurs, I will take you up on your offer to do a treatment over the phone. Your hands and mana (Hawaiian word for life force) are truly amazing!” –Cher Bertrand, Entrepreneur, Hawaii |
Those who learn Reiki find that it can be successfully administered very simply in all kinds of settings: home, clinic, hospital, or any place where people experience stressed muscles, accidents, exhaustion, or personal trauma. Many programs have been created for AIDS patients, victims of war, and hospice care settings, to name a few.
On the physical level, Reiki can bring relaxation to stressed muscles, decrease pain, accelerate the healing time of bones and wounds, diminish the tissue involvement of burns and bruises, and much more.
On a mental and emotional level, anxiety is reduced, a sense of well-being is increased and another level of relaxation can be felt. At this degree of deep relaxation, a rebalancing of energies can occur and the natural healing ability of the body is enhanced.
On a spiritual level, people have stated they feel deeply connected and newly awakened after a session.
Where Does the Usui System of Reiki Healing Come From?
The Usui System of Reiki is named after its founder, Dr. Mikao Usui. Relying on an oral history, we know that Dr. Usui was an educator in Kyoto in the late 1800′s. He began an investigation into the healing phenomena of history’s greatest spiritual teachers. Through travel, study, research, and meditation, he developed the healing practice of Reiki and spent the rest of his life applying and teaching this method.
Usui’s work continued in pre-war Tokyo at a clinic run by Chujiro Hayashi. A patient, Mrs. Hawayo Takata of Hawaii, recovered from her serious ailments at Hayashi’s Reiki clinic, and became his first known western student. She practiced and taught throughout the US and Canada from 1937 to her death in 1980. Her granddaughter, Phyllis Furumoto now carries on her work. Today millions of people practice Reiki throughout the world.
The Usui System of Reiki Healing has spread through an oral tradition of teaching, sharing information, and exchanging treatments. Reiki is not something that can be learned by reading a book—it is something to experience by receiving a treatment, taking a class, and talking with Reiki practitioners, students, and masters.

| “I am a hands-on healer and massage therapist for 13 years and after your Reiki I seminar, there is a noticeable bumping up of what I feel in my hands, and how my clients are responding to the sessions. In the first week after your seminar, one client who had her painful arm in a sling after an injury, commented the next day, “It’s unbelievable. The magic you have is just phenomenal. I woke up today with good range of motion, my pain level is at a one, and I have not had to use a sling. It’s like night and day, from yesterday to today.” Thank you for a wonderful, rewarding seminar! This Reiki Flow of love and healing heals me as well, and it fills me with a quiet joy as I do it” –Stephanie Andersen LMT CBP CCH |

NEW Reiki Immersion Retreat (For Reiki Level II Students)
Reiki Immersion Retreat
Being blessed with the Reiki energy is a unique form of flowing with the Universal Life Force. By keeping our inner light shining, seekers will see our glow, be attracted to it and therefore recognize their own light and purpose on this planet. You may be feeling that you want to go deeper into your desire to heal, both yourself and others. That it is definitely time to GET ON WITH IT–what you came here to accomplish, what your soul is longing to experience.
In choosing to accomplish Reiki Level II, a definite responsibility was taken. Responsibility means “ability to respond”. Choosing to blend with ones’ body mind and spirit for healing on all levels is a definite step in participating and owning your role in the transition of this planet and all of life.
My guidance has directed me to offer this retreat to support and nurture Reiki II students who are wanting to explore their relationship to their practice, and have a deeper understanding of their Reiki path as healers and leaders.
This Immersion Retreat is designed to connect you deeper to the Reiki energy, to overcome any obstacles to expanding your practice of Reiki, and assist you in receiving clarity to the following questions:
- What has opened up for me so far with Reiki?
- How can I deepen and continue to evolve with Reiki?
- When can I charge for my services?
- Is it my path to become a Reiki Master?
We will Play, meditate, do partner exercises, contemplate, co-create, walk on the beach, swim and do Water Reiki, work with the transmuting properties of Reiki in our environment, mastermind on our prosperity and abundance issues, dance, and of course, REIKI, REIKI, REIKI!
This immersion will also include:
- Reiki meditation that strengthens your connection to the lineage of Reiki Masters
- Advanced techniques for using Reiki to solve problems and achieve goals
- The use of crystals and stones with Reiki
- Clearing past issues and traumas with Reiki
- Using Reiki with animals and nature
- Reiki and Intentions
- Increasing your intuition with Reiki
When: TBA
For now, register below to be put on a notification list. As soon as we have our next workshop details ready, we’ll send an e-mail to you to let you know!
If I already have Reiki can I retake the classes?
Many students feel they need more practice and experience with Reiki. It is highly advisable to participate in as many classes as you can as this is not a mental learning but experiential. The healing energy continues to build with each attunement, and your confidence grows as you have personal experience both giving and receiving treatments in a safe and supportive environment. There is a limited number of places available to Reiki students who wish to audit the seminars.
