What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Reiki is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei" which means "universal" and "Ki" which means "life force energy". This therapy is based on the belief that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all things and that this energy can be harnessed to promote healing and balance in the body. Reiki has been practiced for over a century and is now widely used around the world a complementary therapy to traditional medicine.

How does Reiki work?
Reiki energy is believed to work by tapping into the universal life force energy that flows through all things. Practitioners of Reiki go through an attunement process which enables them to connect deeply with this energy. Practitioners harness and channel this energy to help balance the energy within a person's body. During a Reiki session, the patient remains fully clothed and lies down on a comfortable massage table. The practitioner places their hands on or near the patient's body and uses a series of hand positions to channel the energy. This can help to release blockages in the chakras and promote a sense of calm and well-being.
What can I expect to feel?
Clients can expect to feel an abundance of relaxation and calmness. The energy flowing from the hands into the client's body can create a warm or tingling sensation. Patients may also experience a release of tension or emotional blockages. It's important to note that each person's experience may be different, but the overall goal of Reiki is to promote healing and balance within the body.
