Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is a Japanese word that comes from two words - Rei and Ki. In the Japanese language, these words can mean different things depending on how they are used and how they are combined with other words. When they are used together for the practice of healing, the word Rei means universal spirit.  The word Ki refers to the life energy that flows through all living things. Reiki is a form of healing using that promotes deep relaxation and stress reduction.   Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit

A Reiki treatment is based on the idea that all living things have a special energy flowing through them called life energy. When your life energy is high, you'll feel strong and confident, more relaxed and less likely to get sick. When it is low, you will often feel tired, be more easily affected by stress and less resistant to disease (dis-ease).  There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment.

Reiki Treatment

 A treatment requires between 30 –60 minutes, depending on the type of treatment the client desires.  You relax, fully clothed, on a massage table or seated in a chair while the Reiki practioner holds her hands on or above you.  A full treatment will cover all of the important organs and systems of your body.  There is no pressure or massaging during a Reiki session, so Reiki is ideal for treating all ages and conditions.

 A treatment can feel like a warm glowing radiance that flows through the body. It is a very relaxing experience and some clients report the body feeling heavy as it relaxes and yet the spirit or emotions feeling light at the same time. The energy flows wherever it is required and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling.

While almost everyone experiences relaxation and improvements of various kinds, healing results cannot be guaranteed. Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment; it should be used as a compliment and a way to become and remain healthy. A treatment will usually release negative feelings or thoughts, leaving the client feeling more positive and light hearted.

It is recommended that if one has an illness or other medical or psychological condition, that, in addition to getting Reiki treatments, clients should consult a licensed physician or other licensed health care professional.  Reiki works well in conjunction with all medical or psychological care.
