What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Energy.” It is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, promoting balance throughout the body’s systems, thereby aiding the normal regenerative processes of the body and mind.
How does Reiki work?
The human body is more than a physical structure – it also has an energy field or biofield. Reiki practitioners believe that disturbances in the biofield result in illness (physical, mental and/or emotional) and through the use of Reiki, the biofield energy can be manipulated to promote changes in the physical body and influence health.
A session usually lasts 30-60 minutes. The recipient (fully clothed) can either lie on a massage table or sit in a comfortable chair while the Reiki Practitioner focuses the Reiki energy through his/her hands over the entire body of the recipient. The recipient may experience heat, coolness, or just plain relaxation (sometimes to the point of falling asleep).
Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosing illness.
