What is Reiki?

---

Reiki  (pronounced RAY-kee) is a Japanese energy channeling technique used to promote physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Reiki therapy sessions work to balance the flow of one’s energy to remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. When one is sick or stressed, energy is often blocked or depleted. Improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, reduce pain, and promote healing. As Reiki treats the whole being including body, mind and spirit, it can create many beneficial effects that include feelings of peace, empowerment and an enhanced spiritual connection. The whole person is addressed,  not just the symptoms. The intended result of receiving energy therapy is a balanced physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. 

Below are a few common reasons where someone might seek Reiki therapy:

• for stress reduction and relaxation
• to enhance the body's natural immunity & healing processes 
• to assist in the relief of pain, anxiety and fatigue
• to balance energy and release energy blockages
• to complement concurrent conventional medical and psychological treatments
• to clear old energies/patterns to make way for positive change
• to provide supporting treatment for a long-term illness or condition
• to heal emotional wounds at their source
• to remove unwanted energetic (negative) attachments
• to assist in bringing about inner peace and harmony
• to provide relief during emotional distress and sorrow
• when questing for spiritual growth or guidance
• to enhance learning, memory and mental clarity
• to help you break from unhealthy attachments  or habits
• to help with conception and pregnancy 
• to boost creativity
• to decrease insomnia
• to provide mental clarity for a persistent issue/problem

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of energy healing and self-improvement that can be used on anyone. Reiki treatments are not intended as a substitute for conventional medical or psychological care, but work to complement other medical or therapeutic techniques to promote well-being.

Reiki & Spirituality

Reiki is not affiliated with any religion, and it does not require any specific spiritual belief to be effective. It is a spiritual practice in the sense that it helps individuals connect with their inner truth and peace, but it harmonizes with all belief systems.  Clients from all spiritual backgrounds—religious or non-religious—have found Reiki to be a profound and healing experience.
