Reiki

Reiki

Reiki is a natural form of healing therapy. It is applied through non-invasive gentle touch "laying on hands". This form of therapy aims to increase energy levels and promote relaxation, wellbeing and healing.
Reiki is based on the idea that there is a universal (or source) energy that supports the body's innate healing abilities. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, however, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Practitioners seek to access this energy, allowing it to flow to the body and facilitate healing.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "spirit" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy".

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion; there is nothing you have to believe in to use or receive Reiki.

Current Reiki practice can be traced to the spiritual teachings of Mikao Usui in Japan during the early 20th century.

Some of the many beneficial effects include

relaxation
feelings of peace
feeling secure
feeling refreshed
and wellbeing

It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Practitioners with appropriate training may perform Reiki from a distance, that is, on clients who are not physically present in the office or clinic.
