Reiki workshops are held periodically at Stratton House Inn - in southeastern Ohio. Details on the Reiki Therapy workshops will be coming soon.

Pronounced ray-key, reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy.

Reiki is the name given to a system of healing which evolved in Japan under the guidance of Dr. Mikao Usui (d. 1926). After years of study, research and meditation, Dr. Usui developed this healing system from ancient teachings. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today, Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.

There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment. The only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.

Reiki treatment is a subtle, gentle process. The recipient lies on a couch and relaxes - or, if necessary, can be given treatment in a sitting position. However, the recipient must be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing. The practitioner gently places his/her hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions that cover the entire body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. A full treatment usually takes 1 to 1½ hours with each position held for several minutes.

As running water caresses the jagged edges of a rock -- until it is smooth enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one's life.
