What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle and effective system of energy work which activates the body's own natural ability to heal itself. As a natural healing system, it can benefit everyone, from young babies to adults and is a safe, non-invasive therapy.
The name Reiki originates from the Japanese words 'rei' meaning 'universal' and 'ki' meaning 'life force energy'. During a Reiki session, universal energy is channeled through the practitioner to the recipient by a laying on of hands (usually whilst the recipient is laying comfortably on a couch). It works on all levels of the mind, body and spirit, allowing for balance to be restored. Reiki can also help to promote self & spiritual development, therefore allowing you to be at your optimum to deal with all aspects of life.
Reiki sessions can reduce stress within the body, thereby inducing a state of relaxation and allowing the body to begin the healing process. It can be an extremely relaxing experience and the benefits can be immediate. Reiki produces a feeling of total well-being and this can have a very positive effect on the immune system.
This simple Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation works with the higher-self of the receiver to promote health and well being of the entire physical, emotional and spiritual body. Therefore it is truly a system of attaining and promoting wholeness of Mind, Body and Spirit.
