What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word signifying Universal Life Force Energy, the energy that shapes all of life. When activated and applied for purposes of healing, Reiki accelerates the body's ability to heal physical ailments. Reiki opens the mind and spirit to the underlying causes of disease and pain, and promotes balanced wellness.

At Pure Reiki, the Usui System of Reiki Healing is taught by Reiki Master Daniel Pure, who is trained in the traditions of Reiki formulated by Dr. Mikao Usui and whose personal and professional life is committed to this healing art.

Those who learn Reiki become Reiki practitioners. Being a Reiki practitioner provides an individual with the means of maintaining balance in their own health and that of their families and friends. Reiki can also be incorporated effectively into the healing arts practiced by health professionals.

Who discovered Reiki? Where did it start?

Reiki, as a natural system of healing, was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the latter part of the 19th century. Reiki was brought to the West by Mrs. Hawayo Takata, Reiki Master par excellence. Today, the Usui System of Reiki Healing is practiced throughout the world. A more detailed "history" of Reiki is shared by a Reiki Master in a Reiki Level I Class.
