I find it deeply relaxing when I receive Reiki. My mind becomes more focused, the mind chatter stops. In that moment of clarity, I am choosing the here and now, not the past or the future, but NOW.

My body has become gentle, as my armor that keeps me safe in the world is no longer necessary. I can choose to be more visible and alive outwardly.

There is a deep internal peace that serves as a wellspring of energy and happiness. As a result of this apparent mental, emotional, and spiritual harmony, I also feel more physically balanced.

The experience evokes an inner knowing that is reached through the heart, not the mind. Reiki is simply the unconditional love of that universal unlimited source—The Creator.

Mikao Usui developed The Five Reiki Principles; Just for today, I will not worry, Just for today, I will not be angry, Just for today, I will do my work honestly, Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings, Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing, to remind us that while Reiki is a method of physical healing, it is also the path to greater self-understanding and spiritual balance, all of which lead us to happiness.
