Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the late 19th century. It involves the channeling of universal energy by the practitioner through their hands into the client, with the aim of assisting emotional or physical healing. Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. When one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The practice of Reiki is often used for stress reduction and relaxation as well as to promote healing. It is administered by healing touch and is often perceived as a radiant glow that flows around and through the body. This energy is said to treat the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects such as relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
