Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that involves the transfer of qi (or chi) through a practitioner's palms, usually through direct touch or "laying of hands". (In Eastern medicine, qi is the energy life force that flows through all of us, and the intent is always to balance qi in order to achieve optimal health.)

How does Reiki work?

Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you.

The clients body naturally only takes the energy flow that is needed. 

What to expect from a Reiki Session?

Reiki treatments typically last about 50 minutes. During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, as your reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. A series of 12 to 15 different hand positions are typically used with varying lengths of time in each position. Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved.

What does Reiki feel like?

You may experience sensations such as heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands. Sometimes these sensations move throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all. Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and may even fall asleep during the process.Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being.  It can:
