Reiki

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosing illness. Reiki is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, gently and powerfully promoting balance among all the body’s systems.

Reiki Sessions Come to a Reiki session in loose, comfortable clothing. You will normally lie on the table fully clothed, but the technique is so adaptable that you can receive it in almost any setting. Little or no pressure will be applied and no oils will be used. Still and focused, the practitioner will simply place his or her hands on or above your head, shoulders, back, chest, stomach, and limbs. The teachings say that the energy will flow through the practitioner, but not from the practitioner, to you. You will receive the amount of energy you need to bring you mind and body into balance. If you observed a Reiki session, it might not be apparent that anything was occurring. While the effects vary from individual to individual, most people experience deep relaxation. You may perceive a tingling or pulsing sensation, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or you may even fall asleep.
