What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy and is pronounced "RAY-key". It is a gentle method of hands-on healing that taps into the energy referred to as ki in Japan, chi in China, and prana in India. The practice of Reiki is not new and is based on the teachings of Mikao Usui from the early twentieth century Japan.

What is a Reiki Session like?
back to top
To receive Reiki, most people lie on a table fully clothed. Little or no pressure is applied and no oils are used. The practitioner, still and focused, will place his or her hands on or above your head, shoulders, back, chest, stomach and limbs. The energy is channeled through the practitioner to you, the client. The energy itself is intelligent and will flow to the areas where it is needed. Though the technique appears simple, the effects can be profound. Most experience deep relaxation. You may also feel a tingling, pulsing, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or you may fall asleep.
What does Reiki do?
Reiki can alleviate pain and stress. It helps remove blocks and restores balance in your energy flow and it promotes restful sleep, healing and relaxation. Relaxation in itself promotes a host of benefits for the mind and body including a heightened sense of well-being, release of painful muscle tension, and relief from anxiety and depression. In additional, relaxation has been shown to help restore immune function and improve circulation, enhancing healing throughout the body. Reiki is not only healthful, but pleasurable. One of its greatest benefits may be the opportunity to let go and enjoy the experience of being nurtured and cared for.
