Reiki means universal life energy. Reiki promotes balance and restoration of the body and mind and facilitates the power within each of us to assist in our own healing. This modality of healing is non-invasive and uses the touch of the healer’s hand to the client in a gentle and respectful manner. Reiki focuses on all aspects of the client which includes emotional, mental, physical and spiritual healing.

​

Reiki began in the late 1800’s in Japan and slowly made its way to this country. Our lineage at Niyama is The Usui System of Natural Healing; following the structure created by Dr. Mikao Usui.

​

The term “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Practitioners receive attunements and learn to move life energy through their hands to clear energy blockages in the body. They use special secret Reiki symbols to help them move the energy and clear blockages.
