About me

In search of relief from my own lower Back Pain in 2005, I turned to Acupuncture, and I soon found myself on a journey that would teach me a new, more balanced way of living. Beginning with the study and practice of African Reflexology I began to discover powerful methods to release and heal our energy systems, and bring balance and harmony to mind, body and soul and to our external lives.

Reiki Classes - Galway

The Usui System of Reiki is taught by Reiki Masters who are trained in the traditions of Reiki as passed through the spiritual lineage, and whose personal and professional lives are committed to this healing art and the lifestyle it engenders.

What Is Reiki?

"Reiki" (ray - key) is a Japanese word meaning "universal life energy," the energy found in all things. The Usui System of Reiki

Healing, or Usui Shiki Ryoho, applies this energy through gentle touch for the purpose of healing.

Among the many thousands of Reiki students all over the world, mostwill agree that "universal life energy" is only a minimal description of Reiki's extraordinary force. In her early diary, Hawayo Takata, the woman who brought the Usui System of Reiki out of Japan, stated, "This power (Reiki) is unfathomable, immeasurable, and being a universal ife force, it is incomprehensible to man. Yet, every single living being is receiving its blessings daily, awake and asleep."

What Is Reiki Supposed To Do?

The Usui System of Reiki can be a personal tool for healing and growth, a way to give energy to family and friends, or a gentle complementary therapy in holistic medicine.

A Reiki treatment supports the whole person physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is simple to learn and can be applied in a clinical setting, given as self-treatments, or used as a "home remedy" to enhance health and emotional well-being.

When a Reiki practitioner places his/her hands on an area of their own or a client's clothed body, Reiki flows through the practitioner into the client. This transfer may be felt as any type of sensation such as heat, cold, vibration, tingling, unusual heaviness, or sometimes as no sensation at all. A full Reiki treatment takes about 60 to 90 minutes.

Reiki has specifically been documented to relax muscles, still the mind, and ease pain. Hands-on treatment has been scientifically proven to accelerate healing. Many health professionals are effectively incorporating the use of Reiki into their individual practices.

Those who learn Reiki find that it can be successfully administered very simply in all kinds of settings: home, clinic, hospital, or any place where people experience stressed muscles, accidents, exhaustion, or personal trauma. Many programs have been created for AIDS patients, victims of war, and hospice care settings, to name a few.

On the physical level, Reiki can bring relaxation to stressed muscles, decrease pain, accelerate the healing time of bones and wounds, diminish the tissue involvement of burns and bruises, and much more.

On a mental and emotional level, anxiety is reduced, a sense of well-being is increased and another level of relaxation can be felt. At this degree of deep relaxation, a rebalancing of energies can occur and the natural healing ability of the body is enhanced.

On a spiritual level, people have stated they feel revitalized and newly awakened after a full-body session.

Where Does the Usui System of Reiki Healing Come From?

The Usui System of Reiki is named after its founder, Dr. Mikao Usui. Relying on an oral history, we know that Dr. Usui was an educator in Kyoto in the late 1800's. He began an investigation into the healing phenomena of history's greatest spiritual teachers. Through travel, study, research, and meditation, he developed the healing practice of Reiki and spent the rest of his life applying and teaching this method.

Usui's work continued in pre-war Tokyo at a clinic run by Chujiro

Hayashi. A patient, Mrs. Hawayo Takata of Hawaii, recovered from her

serious ailments at Hayashi's Reiki clinic, and became his first known

western student. She practiced and taught throughout the US and Canada

from 1937 to her death in 1980. Her granddaughter, Phyllis Furumoto now carries on her work. Today millions of people practice Reiki throughout the world.

The Usui System of Reiki Healing has spread through an oral tradition of teaching, sharing information, and exchanging treatments. Reiki is not something that can be learned by reading a book it is something to experience by receiving a treatment, taking a class, and talking with Reiki practitioners, students, and masters.
