Is it a holistic healing art, a meditation technique, an endless supply of energy? All this and more. The Japanese word Reiki means universal life force energy. It is the life force that flows through everything in the universe—our essence. The word Reiki consists of two parts: “Rei,” which pertains to the universal, infinite quality of this energy—that which we call Spirit—and “ki,” which is a subset of “rei,” referring to the vital life force energy that runs through all living things.

Many people may be more familiar with the Chinese word “chi,” which holds the same meaning as “ki.” Those acquainted with the martial arts have likely heard of chi. Hindus refer to this same life force energy as “prana.”

Numerous cultures and religions have named this energy. Reiki, however, is not attached to any specific philosophy or religion and is available to all who wish to learn it. Anyone can become a Reiki channel by being initiated or “attuned” by a Reiki Master. Reiki “attunements” open a person to the healing energy, and once the channel is open that person will have access to Reiki for the rest of his or her life.

This universal life energy can promote well-being and greater wholeness in every part of one's life and bring balance and harmony to body, mind and spirit.

This ancient healing technique was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800s. Diana Henderson practices and teaches the Usui Shiki Ryoho, or the “Usui System of Natural Healing.” See details on Reiki sessions and classes below.

I consider being a Reiki Master Teacher a life-long commitment.

Reiki Treatments

Diana generally spends a few minutes prior to treatment setting the client at ease or discussing concerns. All treatments take place with the client fully clothed and generally lying on a Reiki table. Unless a shorter, specifically-targeted treatment is requested, most sessions last for approximately one hour and a full body treatment is given. The session often begins with a body scan to pinpoint "hot spots," or areas needing extra attention. The Reiki technique which follows is either hands-on or if necessary may be performed an inch or so above the body. The full-body treatment covers all major organs and glands as well as all the major chakras (energy centers) of the body.

Cost is a *sliding scale of $65 to $95 for a one-hour, full-body session. A half-hour, targeted session costs $45.

*A sliding scale allows for leeway regarding cost based on your own financial situation. The minimum for a one-hour session is $65, but you may offer more if your finances allow you to do so comfortably.

Occasionally, Diana makes house calls for homebound clients; the cost for these sessions is $95 per hour (in parts of Raleigh, in Garner, Cary, Fuquay-Varina or Apex). Diana is available by appointment at The Bodywork Center of Cary (directions) and on the first Thursday and third Tuesday of each month in Raleigh, North Carolina. All sessions are by appointment only. Contact Diana by email by clicking here or call 919-264-0159 or 919-552-0524 to schedule a session.
