What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated from Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is a form of healing my touch. Universal energy gets transferred from the practitioner to the client, through the hands. The session usually takes 45 minutes to an hour.
According to Reiki Jin Kei Do, Reiki can be interpreted as spiritual or universal life force energy. Reiki is also known as the Usui System of Natural Healing, a very simple technique to aid in the process of healing. Reiki came to the United States thanks to Mrs. Hawayo Takata, a Japanese American who studied it in Japan in the 1930s. Reiki has since become the fast-moving energy modality in the West over the past 30 years.

Please name 3 benefits of Reiki
The 3 main benefits of reiki are that it soothes and calms the mind and spirit, and emotions. It charges, energizes, and aligns the energy centers in the body. It results in a general sense of well-being and vitality.
Where can we book a session with you?
I currently do reiki at a yoga studio in Kuwait called dar ātma where they facilitate the bookings and provide the space for it. I can do Reiki sessions anywhere, as long as I have a massage table for the client to lie down on. By the way, the session is done with the receiver wearing comfortable clothing. And the session normally starts with the head area and ends with the feet.
