Reiki (pronouced Ray - Kee) has become my go-to place of peace in the midst of chaos. It is a gift to share with others in crisis and out. Reiki has become a constant companion and has made a tremendously positive impact on life. With it has come a willingness to allow the path to unroll before me without need of my interference.
Reiki (pronounced Ray - Kee) is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique founded by Mikao Usui Sensei in the late 1800s. A Reiki session consists of laying on hands at various points of the body to direct life force energy. This process results in helping the recipient relax and balance their energies.
Reiki is largely an oral tradition with knowledge and expertise passed from the Reiki Master to the student. As such, noting a Reiki Practitioner's lineage is an important component in determining authenticity.
My first experience with Reiki was in approximately 1990. My mother-in-law, Trudy, introduced me to Reiki calling it a healing modality that is non-invasive and spiritually directed. My first Reiki session was during a Reiki Circle in Palo Alto, CA. As I lay on the table with three practitioners providing Reiki, little did I know my life was about to change.

Much has been written about the Reiki Principles and it has been helpful to look at the original text from Dr. Usui (translated):
