Reiki with Pippa

Reiki is a Japanese practice centred around gentle, attentive touch and presence. It has roots in the teachings of Mikao Usui, who developed the practice in early twentieth-century Japan, but it existed in ancient communities long before then.

The word Reiki is commonly understood through the Japanese characters rei (霊) - universal or spiritual and ki (気), life-energy, although translations and interpretations can vary.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner uses gentle touch or works with their hands just above the body, creating a calm and supportive space for relaxation and wellbeing. This stimulates the flow of ki or energy around the body to encourage healing. Reiki is often experienced as a complementary practice that may support a person’s sense of balance, calm and connection.

I have learned both the Eastern and Western lineages of Reiki.
