What is Reiki?
Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki also promotes healing of the body, mind, and spirit. 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".
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 always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. There is nothing you must believe in order to receive Reiki.
What can I expect in my Reiki Session
Reiki is similar to still touch massage. It is administered with a "laying of the hands." There will be times the practitioner's hands will touch the client and other times where their hands will hover over parts of the body. Clients remain fully clothed.
Reiki is safe for everyone and there are no contraindications.
