Divine Flame Reiki
✨ What is Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki?
Usui Shiki Ryōhō Reiki is a traditional Japanese energy practice that focuses on cultivating balance, presence and relaxation. It was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and is based on the gentle placement of hands, either lightly on or just above the body.
The practice is intended to support a calm state of mind and a sense of harmony within the body and emotions.
Reiki is often experienced as deeply restful and grounding. Sessions encourage stillness, awareness and connection, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to enter a relaxed state.
Reiki works on the belief that life force energy flows through all living things. When this energy is balanced, we feel calm, clear and well. When it’s blocked or depleted, we may feel stressed, heavy, or out of alignment.
✨ How does Reiki work?
Reiki works by creating a calm, supportive space where your body and mind can fully relax. During a session, the practitioner uses light hand placements on or just above the body while you rest comfortably. This gentle approach encourages your nervous system to slow down, helping you move out of stress and into a more settled state.
When the body is deeply relaxed, many people notice a sense of ease, clarity, or emotional lightness. Reiki doesn’t require you to do anything, there’s no pressure to feel a certain way or have a particular experience. It simply offers time and space to pause, breathe and reconnect with yourself.
✨ How does it feel?
Each person’s experience is different, but they often describe feeling:
- Deeply relaxed

Clients often describe Reiki as comforting, peaceful, warming and deeply nurturing, like a reset for the mind, body, and spirit.
✨ What to Expect From a Session?
Your session begins with a gentle check-in to understand how you’re feeling and what you’re hoping to receive. You’ll then lie comfortably, fully clothe, on a treatment bed while soft music and a calm, soothing atmosphere help you relax.
During the session, your practitioner will lightly place their hands above or on specific areas of the body, guiding the flow of Reiki energy. You may feel warmth, tingling, emotional release, or a sense of drifting into deep stillness. Every experience is unique, and all responses are welcome.
After the session, we take a moment to reflect, ground and discuss any insights or sensations that arose. Most clients leave feeling lighter, clearer and renewed.
