Somatic Experiences for the Body, Mind and Soul
Reiki: Nurturing Your Spirit, Energizing Your Life
Enter the world of Reiki, a spiritual healing art deeply rooted in Japanese tradition. The very word "Reiki" reveals its essence: (Rei), meaning "Universal Life," and (Ki), meaning "Energy." It's like tapping into the life force energy that swirls within and around us, offering a source of profound healing and renewal.
Diving Deeper
Picture Reiki as the heartbeat of the universe, the life energy that courses through every cell, every leaf, and every creature. Reiki Practitioners understand that we all possess the innate ability to connect with this healing energy, using it to bolster our own vitality and extend a helping hand to others.
​
In the Reiki philosophy, a person's "ki" or energy should be vibrant and free-flowing, like a gentle river winding its way through the landscape. When this energy is robust, the body and mind exist in a harmonious state of positive health. However, when blockages or weaknesses arise, symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance may surface.
