Reiki

Reiki is a holistic healing practice originating from Japan, combining the Japanese words "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy or vital force). It revolves around the concept of channeling universal life energy to promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being. Rooted in the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through all living things, Reiki practitioners use their hands to facilitate this energy flow, aiming to restore balance and harmony within the recipient's body, mind, and spirit.

During a Reiki session, the recipient typically lies down fully clothed, while the practitioner gently places their hands lightly on or slightly above various parts of the body. Through these hand placements, the practitioner acts as a conduit for the universal life energy, allowing it to flow to areas where it's most needed. This process is non-invasive, and the energy is believed to work on multiple levels, addressing physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual imbalances.

Reiki sessions aim to alleviate stress, reduce pain, enhance relaxation, and promote healing by clearing blockages and restoring the body's natural energy flow. 

The experience of Reiki varies widely among individuals, with some reporting profound relaxation, emotional release, or a sense of inner peace and clarity, focusing on the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. This is a gentle but powerful modality that helps to activate the body’s natural ability to heal.
