USUI REIKI

A traditional Japanese practice of self-awareness, meditation and personal development.

Usui Reiki is associated with Mikao Usui and the Japanese tradition from which many modern Reiki practices developed.

Alongside hands-on practice, the tradition includes principles, meditation, self-development and progressive training.

It offers a pathway for those who want to explore Reiki through its Japanese foundations and develop a personal practice over time.

A PRACTICE OF SELF-AWARENESS AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

WHAT IS USUI REIKI?

Usui Reiki is a practice that combines energy work with personal and spiritual development.

The tradition associated with Mikao Usui includes more than hands-on treatment. It also incorporates meditation, breathing practices, personal principles, practical training and ongoing self-development.

A Reiki practice can become part of everyday life, encouraging you to slow down, become more present and develop greater awareness of yourself and your surroundings.

THE REIKI EXPERIENCE

01

A MOMENT TO PAUSE

A Reiki session gives you an opportunity to step away from your usual routine and spend time simply being present.

02

A SPACE TO RECEIVE

You remain fully clothed while the practitioner works with Reiki using gentle hands-on or hands-off approaches according to their practice.

03

TIME TO REFLECT

After the session, you can take a moment to notice how you feel and allow yourself time to transition back into your day.

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You may notice deep relaxation, a sense of stillness or simply appreciate having time to pause.

WHAT PEOPLE MAY
EXPLORE THROUGH REIKI

RELAXATION

A peaceful opportunity to slow down and rest.

THE ROOTS OF USUI REIKI

MIKAO USUI

Mikao Usui is recognised as the founder of the Reiki system from which many modern Reiki traditions developed.

He was born in Japan in 1865 and spent much of his life exploring spiritual practice, meditation and different areas of learning.

His teachings eventually developed into a system that brought together personal development, spiritual practice, meditation and hands-on healing.

Following his death in 1926, his students continued teaching and the practice gradually spread beyond Japan.
