What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese method of healing that targets the whole body (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) through the flow of life force energy. “Re” means universe and “Ki” means life force.

How it works

The treatment involves intentional placement of a Practitioner’s hands in specific areas of a patient’s body to promote the flow of life force energy. This life force energy is universal and it exists in everyone. However, we may develop blockages in this life force energy leading to disease, stress and your system being out of balance. During a Reiki treatment, an unlimited supply of life force energy is made available to the patient through the Practitioner, freeing up these energy blockages to promote health and relaxation. While this Reiki technique is spiritual in nature, a client is not required to be spiritually be open to accept Reiki and its benefits.
