Reiki Intensive (16 hours)

Reiki literally means ‘Universal Life Energy’ and names a specific type of energy therapy. Reiki practitioners intentionally direct healing power of pure life energy through their hands utilizing unique symbols, hand positions, and movements.

In a way, Reiki is a “Best of Collection” of Ancient Eastern Energy Techniques strategically organized into a streamlined approach that was practiced since the 1800’s in Japan, where it quickly gained popularity. In the 1940’s it swept over to Hawaii and later the US, before it finally became well known in Europe in the 1980’s. Today, it is a much sought after treatment by clients anywhere.

Due to the subtlety of energy, most research conducted on Reiki is done in form of studies, where clients have reported a long list of benefits. The technique is practiced professionally in multiple settings anywhere, even in hospitals.
