This Japanese technique for de-stressing and relaxation, founded by  Mikao Usui in the early 20th century requires practitioners to lightly hover their hands over the body to release energy blocks and promote healing by channeling  “universal life force energy” Ki/CHI, acting as a conduit for energy, aiming to balance the client’s energy fields. Benefits of this technique include pain and stress reduction, mood improvement, relaxation and is considered a complementary therapy to conventional medicine, improving physical, mental and emotional health.
