Where did Reiki originate?
Reiki origin story is a story of connection, healing and energy transformation.
Reiki's origins trace back to Mikao Usui, a Japanese scholar born during the Meiji era. From childhood, Usui felt a deep connection to the life force energy known as 'ki'. His spiritual quest led him to Mount Kurama, where he undertook a grueling 21-day fast and meditation.
On the final day, exhausted and near death, Usui experienced a profound vision. A beam of light struck his forehead, revealing the universe's interconnectedness and the symbols for channeling healing energy. Descending the mountain, he discovered he could heal with his hands.
Usui named this practice 'Reiki', combining the Japanese words for 'universal' (rei) and 'life energy' (ki). He began teaching others, developing a system of attunements to ensure only dedicated individuals became practitioners.
Usui's final vision foresaw Reiki spreading globally, evolving while retaining its core essence of universal healing energy.
Today, Reiki continues to touch lives worldwide, with practitioners feeling connected to Usui's original experience on Mount Kurama.

How much can I expect to pay for a session?
That depends on your Reiki session but expect to pay about what you would pay for a 1-hour massage.
-
Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?
No, you don't have to believe in Reiki for it to work. Your universal life energy is there independent of your own belief system. Reiki energy flow can benefit you regardless of your personal belief.
That being said, having an open mind and a positive attitude can enhance your experience. Being receptive to the process may help you relax more deeply and be more aware of subtle changes in your body or emotions during and after the session.
It's important to note that many skeptics have reported positive experiences with Reiki. Some people who initially doubt its effectiveness find themselves surprised by the sense of relaxation, warmth, or other sensations they experience during a session.
