Welcome

Reiki is a form of spiritual practice used as a complementary therapy for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Mikao Usui discovered reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he said he received the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama, Kyoto.

Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, which channels healing energy. Practitioners state that energy flows through their palms to bring about healing and that the method can be used for self-treatment as well as treatment of others.

Many public figures like the Prince of Wales openly support the healing method’s benefits. Addressing the World Health Organisation in May 2006, Prince Charles encouraged doctors to take a more holistic view by putting great emphasis on preventative healthcare.
