Reiki, originating from Japan, is a holistic healing technique that aims to restore balance and promote well-being by channeling universal life force energy through the practitioner's hands. The word "Reiki" itself is a combination of two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning universal or spiritual wisdom, and "Ki," meaning life force energy. At its core, Reiki operates on the principle that a life force energy flows within and around us, influencing our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

A Reiki practitioner creates a supportive environment for the recipient's own healing mechanisms to awaken. The practitioner's hands, placed gently on or near the recipient's body, serve as a bridge between the universal life force energy and the recipient's energy field. This interaction encourages a rebalancing of energy, stimulating the body's natural healing responses.

During a Reiki session you remain fully clothed and lie down in a comfortable position. The practitioner serves as a conduit for universal life force energy, channeling the energy into the recipient's body by using their hands to gently touch or hover above specific energy centers (chakras) and areas of the body. As the energy flows, you may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. This process encourages your body to release tension, reduce stress, and support healing where it's needed most.
