What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction. It is also a very gentle yet effective form of hands on healing .

We all have a life force that runs through us. When we are sick or stressed the energy doesn’t run as well. We don’t function at our best. During a Reiki treatment the practitioner channels Reiki through the client, helping to flush out blocks and restore the natural flow of energy. Every treatment is different, and results vary.

Reiki is not a substitute for regular health care, but it compliments it beautifully.

What happens during a treatment?

The client is fully clothed but without shoes. The practitioner lays her hands on or just above the client in a series of poses. There is no rubbing, no pressure. Soothing music is usually in the background. Most clients feel heat or something like a breeze generate from the hands of the practitioner.

The feeling is very nurturing and relaxing. Reiki works on the body, the mind, and the soul. It can help alleviate pain and release  stuck feelings and emotions. For a more detailed explanation of what Reiki can do I invite you to visit The Canadian Reiki Association at www.reiki.ca
