Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese “hands-on technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

 It is based on the concept that everything in the universe is made up of energy and this “life force energy” that flows all around us is drawn in by the body nourishing the cells, organs, and glands. 

When our energy is depleted, imbalanced, or the flow is restricted by stress, injury, or illness, we are more susceptible to discomfort, further illness, and disease.

When our energy is restored and balanced, we are more likely to feel relaxed and the body’s own innate healing abilities are utilized for healing.

What does Reiki feel like?

While the patient is seated or lying down and fully clothed, the practitioner’s hands are placed along energy centers and pathways on the head, neck, chest, abdomen, legs, and feet. As life force energy is transferred to the body, the patient may feel sensations of warmth, coolness or gentle tingling, or just deep relaxation. This can also be done via distance as energy is not restricted to time and space.

What are the benefits?

Reiki  can treat the physical, emotional and spiritual aspect of our being.

Reiki can reduce depression and anxiety, relieve stress, accelerate recovery from illness and injury, decrease pain, release blocked emotions, aid in removal of toxins from the body and provide a greater sense of well-being.
