Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation and healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady, always creating a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.  People’s experiences vary during a Reiki session; however, most people feel the energy as heat. Some describe the feeling as a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around them. Others may feel tingling, vibrating or waves of energy from the hands of the practitioner. Most people feel a great sense of relaxation, calm and peace during the session, and feel incredibly energized and clear afterwards.
