There are multiple interpretations about Reiki. Our retreat center uses a Christian interpretation based on the life, mission and teachings of Jesus Christ. Nothing and no one replaces His power. Reiki here is offered in the context of prayer.

REIKI (RAY-KEY) is a powerful but gentle energy, which has been used to aid in healing virtually every known illness of mind, body and spirit. It does not replace traditional medicine, but rather compliments the healing process. It can be incorporated effectively into the healing arts practiced by health professionals. REIKI is deeply relaxing and creates a sense of well being which increases the rate of recovery. The sensation felt by the recipient of a REIKI TREATMENT is usually a deep feeling of warmth and comfort.

REIKI is a natural healing technique that uses laying-on of hands. When activated and applied for purposes of healing, REIKI addresses the body, mind and spirit. It accelerates the body’s ability to heal physical ailments and opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease, pain and disharmony. REIKI encourages one to take responsibility for one’s life and good health.
