What is Reiki???

Good question!  How does one explain something so wonderfully subtle and yet so powerful?  Here is my short attempt at defining (with words) something I that I love giving and receiving.

Reiki is a gentle healing system that treats the whole self.  It reaches the physical, emotional, and energetic levels of the client, working for the highest good of the receiver.

Through a series of hand positions either directly on or above the body, the Reiki practitioner accesses and facilitates the flow of universal (rei) life force energy (ki) within the client.  Reiki activates and accelerates the body’s natural healing abilities, and allows the client’s body to use whatever energy is required at the time of the session.  

Many clients report sensations of hot/cold, pulsating warmth, emotional and physical release, or a tingling sensation, as their body becomes rebalanced.  The potential benefits are endless, but for the purpose of this blog can be described as feelings of calm, clarity, awareness, ease of movement, balance, pain reduction, and an increase in energy and vitality.

There is no pressure or manipulation of the body, making Reiki ideal for treating all ages (babies to 100 years young) and all conditions. 

Interested in the Reiki experience?  Try a session!  Believe me, feeling Reiki is more exciting than reading about it!
