The healing method known as Reiki was developed in Japan by its Japanese founder Mikao Usui in 1922. 

 

One of the main aims of Reiki is to relieve suffering, bring mental calm, inner peace and general well-being. The practice is based mainly on the laying on of hands, and takes account of the whole human being: physical, spiritual, mental, emotional and so on.

​

 

The effectiveness of Reiki has been studied by the scientific community, and has been practiced for some years in various hospitals, particularly in the United States. The positive effects are due to the placebo effect.

With the current problems caused by the pandemic, the practice of Reiki plays an even more important role, bringing long-lasting relief to care receivers after just a few sessions.
