Reiki is a form of energy healing that uses simple hands-on, no-touch techniques, with the goal of improving the energy flow of an object (human, animal, plant, etc.). Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means "universal life energy" in Japanese.
Reiki sessions have been proven helpful in stress reduction and relaxation which promotes healing. It is a balancing at every level. It is a hands on healing technique believed to transfer universal energy in the form of Ki ( Life Force Energy) through the Palms. Reiki is a simple, yet very powerful technique that has been practiced for thousands of years.
Most people notice a difference after the very first treatment and the benefits grow with every repeated session.
Reiki is a safe treatment, since there is nothing about Reiki treatments that interfere with any medical care you are receiving.
If you are taking prescription medications, you MAY find that with continued Reiki treatments, you may need less. However you should not change the way you take your medication on your own. ALWAYS consult your physician before adjusting your medications.
Since Reiki treatment is balancing at every level, it can help anyone who is interested enough to experience a treatment session. If you are tired, you'll feel refreshed. If you are anxious, you'll feel serene. If you are distressed, you'll feel comforted. Where you feel overwhelmed, you'll find a renewed sense of yourself. And these subjective changes will be accompanied by physical changes indicative of deep relaxation, such as a lower heart rate and easier breathing.
