Traditional Reiki
During a traditional Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the recipient’s body, allowing the energy to flow where it is needed most. This hands-on approach is based on the belief that physical touch enhances the flow of energy and facilitates healing.
Distant Reiki
Distant Reiki is a variation of traditional Reiki where the practitioner sends healing energy to a recipient who is not physically present. This form of Reiki is based on the principle that energy is not bound by physical proximity and can be sent and received across any distance.
Foot Zoning
Foot zoning is based on the premise that different areas of the feet correspond to different organs, glands, and systems of the body. By stimulating these reflex points through massage or pressure, foot zoning aims to release energy blockages, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing process.
History of Reiki
Reiki, as a healing practice, originated in Japan in the early 20th century. It was developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk, who reportedly experienced a spiritual awakening during a meditation retreat. Usui claimed to have gained the ability to heal through touch and transmitted this knowledge to others, founding the practice known as Reiki.
The term “Reiki” combines two Japanese words: “rei,” meaning universal or spiritual, and “ki,” meaning life force energy. Usui’s teachings emphasized the idea of channeling this universal life force energy to promote healing and well-being.
After Usui’s death in 1926, his teachings were further developed and disseminated by his students, most notably Chujiro Hayashi and Hawayo Takata. Takata, a Japanese-American, brought Reiki to the West in the mid-20th century, where it gained popularity as a complementary therapy for promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and holistic healing.
Over time, Reiki has evolved into various forms and lineages, each with its own symbols, techniques, and practices. It has been integrated into alternative and complementary medicine practices worldwide and continues to be practiced and taught by Reiki practitioners and teachers around the globe.
