What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy-healing practice that enhances relaxation and promotes overall wellness. The word “Reiki” combines two Japanese words: “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life force energy known as "Qi" in Traditional Chinese Medicine or "Prana" in Ayurveda). Reiki is based on the idea that everything is made of energy which flows through all living things. 

“Universal life force energy” influences our physical health, harmonizes our emotions, and provides mental clarity. When energy is low or disrupted by stress, injury, or illness, we become more prone to discomfort and disease. In contrast, when energy is balanced and vibrant, we experience peace and activate the body's natural healing abilities. 

This non-invasive technique involves light touch or hands hovering above the body while clients remain fully clothed, they can either sit or lie down comfortably. Practitioners channel "universal life force energy" to balance the body's energy centers known as chakras in Ayurveda, which play a crucial role in regulating overall well-being.

 

Reiki facilitates the body's natural healing processes without physical manipulation or medication. As energy flows to you, you may sense warmth, a soothing tingling or deeply relaxed.  

Reiki works primarily by activating the parasympathetic nervous system - the “rest and digest” mode - helping your body shift out of chronic stress and into a state of deep relaxation.
