Reiki

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

The word "Rei" means universal and the word "Ki" is life energy, so Reiki is our universal life energy. It was rediscovered in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, and has been passed down through Masters taught to use Reiki. The student is attuned by the Master to be able to use this universal energy, for themselves and to help others.

A Reiki treatment takes place fully clothed with the Reiki practitioner laying hands on or just above certain areas of the body, usually in the region of the Chakras through which our life energy is connected by meridians. This helps to rebalance any disturbances in the human energy field.

The practitioner does not direct this energy, it flows to where it is needed. Reiki may do no harm and a treatment may leave you relaxed and sometimes energized.
