Reiki Usui Ryoho Explained
What is Reiki Usui Ryoho?
Reiki Usui Ryoho is a natural healing system developed by Master Mikao Usui in early 20th century Japan. "Reiki" means "universal life energy" (Rei = universal, Ki = life energy), while "Usui Ryoho" translates to "Usui's healing method."
This practice channels universal life energy through gentle hand placement, promoting energetic balance and activating the body's natural self-healing processes on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
How It Works?
Energy Channeling: The practitioner becomes a conduit for universal energy, which flows naturally to where healing is most needed without being influenced by personal energy.
Non-Contact Healing: Hands are positioned slightly above the body at specific energy points, allowing universal energy to flow freely and restore energetic balance in chakras and meridians without physical touch.
Self-Healing Activation: Rather than forcing healing, Reiki awakens and supports the body's innate healing wisdom, working holistically across all levels of being.
Key Benefits
Reiki works holistically to support your complete well-being.
On a physical level, clients typically experience deep relaxation and stress relief, natural pain management, better sleep quality, increased energy levels, and enhanced recovery from illness or injury. Many also report a stronger immune system and overall improved vitality.
Emotionally, Reiki helps reduce anxiety and worry while promoting the release of emotional blockages. This creates space for greater peace, improved mood, better emotional balance, and increased self-confidence. Many people find they feel more centered and resilient in facing life's challenges.
Mentally, Reiki supports clearer thinking and improved focus, reducing mental fatigue and enhancing decision-making abilities. Clients often experience more positive thinking patterns, enhanced creativity, and better concentration in their daily activities.
On a deeper level, Reiki facilitates personal growth through increased self-awareness, enhanced intuition, and a stronger spiritual connection. This often leads to greater clarity about life purpose and a profound sense of inner harmony and balance.
