Reiki is a discipline of energetic healing that originates in Japan. The focus of a Reiki treatment is to realign and clear the energy centers and channels of the body, and to encourage a healthy flow of energy throughout the body.
The National Institute of Health recognizes Reiki as a viable healing modality, and the practice of Reiki is found world-wide in hospitals and non-clinical settings alike. It even has applications outside of human health as many employ this technique to facilitate healing for plants and animals.
The tradition of Reiki was originally passed-down orally from Master/Teacher to students through education, experience and initiation. Currently, this tradition is codified into written material in order to assist in the study and standardization of the practice.
An initiation into the practice of Reiki is known as an “attunement”. An attunement opens and clears the energy channels of an individual so that they may become a channel or vessel of healing for the Universal Life-Force Energy. An attunement creates permanent changes in the practitioners’ energy body, and thus facilitates changes in their physical, mental, and emotional bodies. Consequently, there are three degrees of Reiki attunements in the Usui tradition, level 1, 2 and master/teacher. At the Charleston Holistic Center we offer Reiki attunements for the aspiring practitioner. Let our experienced practitioners and teachers help you discover healing and transformation through the ancient wisdom of Reiki!
