Reiki: Rei – ‘universal’ ki – ‘life force.’
Reiki originated in Japan and is a form of energy work that promotes healing, stress reduction, and relaxation. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the concept of restoring and balancing ones "life force energy" while remaining fully clothed. Reiki enhances the body’s natural healing abilities.
If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress; and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A Reiki session may result in the following: a gentle release of physical or emotional pain, a release of energetic blocks, a boost to the immune system, a reduced level of stress and fatigue, diminished symptoms of illness, or an increase in the body’s vibration.
A Reiki session is a wonderful alternative for those who are unable to recieve hands-on massage work.
