Reiki reiki healing usui reiki

Usui Reiki Ryoho is an energy system of healing on all levels. Let’s call it Usui Reiki for short reference. It comes from the Japanese words “REI,” meaning spirit, soul, Universal God and “KI,” meaning life energy force, breath of life. This style of hands on healing was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui a medical doctor who was a kind, well read man, with a vast knowledge of medicine, psychology and theology of religions around the world. In the late 1800s he went to Mt. Kurama in Japan to meditate. During his stay there, he had a profound spiritual experience that led to the knowledge of a healing energy technique he called Reiki. Basically, Reiki means “Healing with Divine Spirit Energy”.

The body’s energy flow can stagnate where there has been physical injury or even emotional stress and pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause inflammation, stagnant lymphatics and possible chronic illness. A Reiki treatment  aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture and acupressure. Reiki healing helps stimulate the flow of energy around the body enabling deeper relaxation, open the lymphatic system, relieve pain inflammation, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of chronic illness.

I learned Reiki to Master teacher level over twenty years ago. And in the last 8 years I have learned extensively about the lymphatic system and how it works and how important it is to focus on it. In my Reiki sessions I incorporate wonderful technique of Chakra reading with pendulum and then balancing with Reiki.

My daughter Nicolette and I trained together under the same Reiki master Jan Wright in Chico CA. We are partnering together as a mother and daughter team to offer a highly energetically healing session we call 4-Handed Reiki. Both Nicolette and I treat a client with Reiki at the same time. This is wonderful for deep healing and releasing blockages that may have been difficult to release. We are thrilled to be bringing this to our clients.

The chakra are dynamic vortexes which are true health redefined. Each given the correct energy brings about chakra balancing. Each has it’s own specific energy frequency and level of consciousness and memories of information.
