Reiki

Reiki is a technique that benefits the entire person including the body, emotions, spirit and mind and generally results in a very profound state of relaxation.  Balancing of the body’s energy can help with pain reduction, healing, stress reduction, one’s overall sense of wellbeing, recovery from illness, as well as preparation or recovery from a medical procedure.  Reiki works well in conjunction with all medical and therapeutic techniques to promote healing and recovery.

The word Reiki is comprised of two Japanese words — Rei which mean “Higher Power” and Ki which translates as “life force energy.”  This energy is free flowing in our bodies and when this energy becomes blocked or stagnant (stress, injury, trauma, etc.) and issues such as pain, fatigue and disease can develop.  These conditions are not a natural state for the body, which is constantly trying to find balance. 

By channeling Reiki energy through his/her hands, the practitioner assists the receiver’s body in the release of blockages which helps balance the energy.  This state of balance is the environment the body can use to resume a natural state of self-healing.
