What is Reiki and Energy Healing

​Reiki is a spiritual, vibrational healing practice used to promote balance throughout the human system. 

Reiki does not involve physical manipulation or the ingestion or application of any substances, but works with the subtle vibrational field thought to surround and penetrate the body.
 
(Reiki is commonly translated from the Japanese as universal life energy.) People receiving Reiki often express a sense of connection to their own innate spirituality, or inner source of meaning. There is, however, no religious belief system attached to Reiki. 

Reiki was originally developed as a practice for self-care, and students were encouraged to give treatment to and receive treatment from others. The practice can be easily learned by anyone who is interested, regardless of age (children through seniors) or condition of health.

Some people practice or receive Reiki to strengthen their wellness; others use it to help cope with symptoms, such as pain or fatigue, or to support their medical care, even in the case of chronic illness.

Energy healing is very effective for all physical, mental and emotional issues, including fatigue, chronic pain, illness, injury, stress, depression, insomnia, grief, trauma, etc.

Energy healing involves using gentle, yet powerful techniques to detect and release energy blockages, stimulate the flow of energy along the energy channels and restore balance in the body. When these energy channels are flowing smoothly, your body can recover from illness to promote willingness to heal itself naturally.
