Reiki is a non-invasive healing system that works with the Higher Self of the Receiver to promote health and well being of the entire physical, emotional and psychic body attaining and promoting wholeness of Mind, Body and Spirit. Reiki is a specific type of subtle energy work in which healing is performed by the touch of the hands, allowing the flow of the energy from the Reiki practitioner to you by intention.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "universal wisdom or higher power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritual life force energy." Reiki practitioners channel energy to heal and harmonize. Reiki seeks to restore order to the body whose vital energy has become unbalanced. One doesn't have to be ill to experience the benefits. It brings about deep relaxation, releases energy blockages, detoxifies the system and increases the vibration frequency of the body.

What happens during the session?

The laying of hands is used in Reiki therapy also as in spiritual healing. In Reiki, however, the healer places the hands above the recipient; however, it is the recipient that draws the energy as needed. Thus, in this case, the individual being takes an active part in the healing process, as opposed to having a passive part in spiritual healing. The individual takes responsibility for his or her healing. The recipient identifies the needs and cater to them by drawing energy as needed.

Although there are few positions in which the practitioner is in contact with the patient (such as cradling the head), most Reiki treatments do not involve actual touching. The practitioner holds his or her hands a few inches or farther away from the patient's body and manipulates the energy field from there.

Benefits:

One of the greatest Reiki healing health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the body’s natural healing abilities, and improves and maintains health. Reiki healing is a natural therapy that gently balances life energies and brings health and well being to the recipient.
