Usui Reiki Ryoho

A Healing Practice

There is a  non-physical energy (called Prana by many Asian cultures, Chi by the Chinese, and Ki by the Japanese) that exists and gives life to every living organism.

Whilst performing a sound bath I am actively practicing Reiki, I find this greatly enhances the benefits and experience.

For thousands of years people have sought ways to harness this energy in an effort to control and direct its flow in and around our bodies. Acupuncture, Feng Shui, Meditation, Tai Chi, and Yoga are among the disciplines that have been developed and used to harness this energy, with much success and like those ancient practices Reiki is a form of hands-on healing that dates back thousands of years to its origins in India and the East. It is another method that allows the practitioner to access this pure energy and allow it to flow through them and heal themselves and others.

The original name and techniques were lost due to the traditional method of passing down knowledge by word of mouth, thankfully, it was re-discovered by a Japanese monk and scholar named Dr. Mikao Usui who called the technique “Reiki,” meaning “Universal Life Force.”

Clearing energy blockages and encouraging this life-giving energy to flow unencumbered throughout the body is the goal of every Reiki treatment. This holistic modality works on the body, mind, and spirit to stimulate the body’s own natural healing abilities.

Reiki treatment stands on its own as a healing practice and is also safely used to support orthodox and complementary medicine. Reiki doesn’t interfere with or diminish the intended effects of other health or medical practices.

Reiki energy is channeled through me, to you.

Reiki enhances your body’s natural healing ability and promotes wellbeing.

During a sound bath I enhance the vibrations of the crystal singing bowls with the power of Reiki.

The 5 Reiki principles

The five principles of Reiki are ethical guidelines developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Usui System of Natural Healing. They’re meant to be practiced daily to promote spiritual growth, inner peace, and overall well-being. These principles are not about achieving perfection, but about committing to a mindful way of life, one day at a time.

The phrase “Just for today” at the beginning of each principle emphasizes living in the present moment, releasing the past, and not worrying about the future.

Trevor Haynes

I am a subtle energy worker with more than twenty years of practice in sound healing, Reiki, and massage. I lead sound baths using frosted quartz crystal singing bowls and Koshi chimes — weaving harmonic resonance and Reiki to guide people into deep rest. My path to this work took me from corporate life to a decade living in an off-grid cabin, through studies at the Thai Massage School of Chiang Mai, and into the world of lomi lomi. I believes strongly in the principal that everything in the universe, including our bodies, is in a state of vibration and we each have the power to influence that energy.Read my bio ↝
