Reiki is a diverse and evolving practice, with several modalities that offer unique approaches to energy healing.

While both aim to balance energy and promote healing, they differ in techniques, origins, and the type of energy they channel. Let’s dive into the distinctions between these two powerful modalities.

What is Usui Reiki? Usui Reiki, the original form of Reiki, was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It focuses on channeling universal life force energy to balance the chakras, clear energy blockages, and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

Key Features of Usui Reiki:

Emphasis on the hands-on or hands-above-body technique.

Incorporates sacred symbols to enhance energy flow for an energetic tune up.

A structured system with three levels: Practitioner, Advanced Practitioner, and Master Teacher.

What is Seichem Reiki? Seichem Reiki, has roots in ancient Egyptian healing practices. It channels a different frequency of energy compared to Usui Reiki, often described as more feminine, nurturing, and multidimensional. Usui channels Earth energy, while Seichem channels Earth, Air, Fire, and Water energy.

Seichem Reiki complements Usui Reiki and is often practiced alongside it. Some describe Seichem as a more intense and deep vibrational healing experience.

Key Features of Seichem Reiki:

Focuses on emotional and spiritual healing. Especially around “deep seated issues” and trauma; including from past lifetimes we’ve carried forward that may be impacting us now. It can compliment the progress you are making in your personal therapy or spiritual awakening.

Often incorporates angels that work alongside the practitioner for deeper healing.

Works with additional sacred symbols unique to Seichem that targets various traumas from the physical, emotional, and spiritual body.
