Reiki - The Journey of Hands On Healing
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of hands-on healing that works with universal life energy — a practice that invites peace, balance, and deep inner awareness. At its core, Reiki is about connection: to oneself, to others, and to the energy that flows through all living things.
This ancient Japanese healing art originated in Kyoto, where it was practiced by Buddhist monks as part of their spiritual discipline. Rooted in simplicity and presence, Reiki blended seamlessly with meditation and the teachings of mindfulness. After the Second World War, Reiki quietly made its way to the West, evolving through different hands while keeping its essence alive.
The learning path of Reiki unfolds in four levels. It begins with Shoden, the first degree, where students learn to channel healing energy primarily for themselves and close others. This stage lays the foundation for all that follows — a personal journey into self-care, balance, and awareness.
The second level, Okuden, expands this ability. At this stage, practitioners are introduced to sacred symbols and techniques that deepen their healing practice, allowing them to offer Reiki more confidently to others, both in person and at a distance.
Shinpiden, the Master level, is more than just a title — it represents a shift in consciousness. Here, the practitioner embodies the energy of Reiki more fully, learning advanced practices and stepping into a more profound relationship with the healing path.
The final step, Shihan, or teacher level, is for those called to guide others on this journey. It’s about becoming a mentor, sharing knowledge, and holding space for new students as they begin their own exploration of energy and healing.
At Soul & Spirit Spa, the Reiki journey began over a decade ago in Indonesia and Asia. Since those early days, the community has blossomed into a global circle of practitioners and teachers. We stay true to the roots of Reiki, teaching in the traditional way and weaving in the essence of Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and mindful living. Today, we continue to connect monthly in online circles — sharing experiences, deepening our practice, and supporting one another in walking this beautiful path of healing and compassion.
Soul & Spirit Spa offers both Reiki Treatments and Reiki Training, from beginner to teacher level. Whether you're looking to receive healing or begin your own Reiki journey, we’re here to guide you.
