What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  It is administered by "laying of hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.  If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".  So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy".

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, oneness, security and wellbeing.  Many have reported miraculous results. 

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.  It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect.  It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.    

How it works:

During a Reiki therapy session, the patient lies down on a massage table.  The patient is fully clothed and may choose to wear comfortable clothing for the session.  The Reiki practitioner places his/her hands over (or directly on top of) the patient's body in various positions, starting at the crown of the head.

The spiritual healing art of Reiki works by channeling positive energy into your body,  This powerful flow of positive energy may bring a near immediate sensation of relief as it releases tension, lessens the impact of stress and replaces negative energy with the positive.  Some refer to this positive Reiki energy as the life force.  

Reiki provides a boost to your body's healing mechanisms, which once again begin to function effectively.  It potentially reduces blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones, increases immune system strength and restores a balance to your body, mind and soul.
