01 - What is Reiki?
Reiki, a Japanese energy healing system, discovered by Mikao Usui in the early 1920s. The word “Reiki” means “universal life force energy” in Japanese
It is believed that there is a vital energy that flows through all life forms, connecting each individual to the universe at large.
This concept of “life force energy” is similar across various cultures and is often referred to as "prana" in Yoga, or "chi" in Chinese Medicine.
02 - Reiki for Work-Life Balance and Wellness
Meditate with Reiki to:
✵ Manage stress level
✵ Release stuck emotions
✵ Improve quality of sleep
✵ Gain mental clarity and intuition for better decision-making
✵ Ease the office symptoms: back, neck and shoulder pain
✵ Recover from intense workout
Stressful situations, negative thoughts and feelings can disrupt the flow of our energy that affects our nervous system and diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the body.
The flow of Reiki clears and heals the energy pathways, and allows our energy to flow in a healthy way in our body.
“the body knows how to heal itself, we just need to create the time and space for it to happen”

03 - How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is channeled through practitioner’s hands on or over the receiver.
Receiving Reiki feel like:
⏾ Experiencing the warmth of Reiki flowing through your body
⏾ Feeling the air pressure on your skin like a gentle massage
⏾ Effortlessly falling into deep relaxation
The energetic resonance and the restful position laying on the mat shifts the receiver’s the nervous system from "Fight-or-Flight" to "Rest-and-Restore" mode.

As an ambitious designer, I was constantly grinding to improve my creative work. It was hard to slow down and relax…The mental & physical stress built up as chronic back and neck pain, along with tension headaches.
A year of self-healing in Bali leaving the corporate path behind...I experienced a deep sense of calm through my daily practice of Reiki. It allowed me to slow down and relax my body & mind.
Whether you seek to ease physical tension, improve emotional well-being, or carve out sacred time for yourself.
Join me to experience a deeper sense of calm & clarity through Reiki Meditation

05 - The Brief History of Reiki
Reiki, a Japanese energy healing system, discovered by Mikao Usui in the early 1920s along his journey of seeking enlightenment, the state of peace from within.
With his determination in seeking spiritual awakening, he undertook an intense meditation and fasting for 21 days at Mount Kurama.
On the final day of his meditation, a bright light filled his vision as he felt a strong sense of energy over his head. The experience awakened him to channel the healing energy of Reiki through his hands for his own wellbeing, and slowly began offering treatments to those in need.
Before World War II, Reiki had established itself in Japan, as Usui began teaching Reiki to a small group of students, and with clinics and organisations dedicated to its practice.
Reiki was later brought to Hawaii and gained its popularity in the western world.
Today, Reiki had evolved into diverse variations we can find around the world such as Holy Fire Reiki, Kundalini Reiki, Angelic Reiki, Tibetan Reiki, just to name a few.
Regardless of the diversity in the teaching and practice, the fundamental of Reiki is rooted in the embodiment of LOVE, compassion, gratitude. and a lifestyle choice with intention and awareness.
