What is Reiki?

Reiki is universal life energy that always works for our greatest and highest good.   The Reiki therapist does not always know what is needed to help you, but simply allows the Reiki to flow from the universe, through their hands and into you for your benefit.  Reiki works to balance our bodies, minds and spirits so that we can be healthy and vibrant beings. 

Rei –  Spirit.  That which understands the person, their challenges, the causes and how to heal. 

Ki – Energy.  The essential life force of the earth, planets, stars and heavens.

Our modern world runs at such a fast pace.  We hurry from one thing to the next with many sources of stress in our lives, and many times forget to take time for ourselves.   The physical manifestations of stress (illness, chronic pain, etc.) are the last to show.  Stress is impacting our bodies on an emotional and spiritual level long before that.   Reiki works to treat the root cause of the problem and heals from the inside out by bringing balance to our lives. 

Reiki treatments facilitate healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Some of the benefits of Reiki treatments may include:

• Reduction in stress and anxiety
• A sense of deep peace and tranquility
• Release of blockages on physical, emotional and spiritual levels
• Feelings of overall well-being
• Renewal of spiritual awareness and insight
• Inner stillness, allowing a deepening connection with self
• Enhanced functioning of the immune system
• Reduction in levels of chronic pain
• Decreased time necessary for healing from illness or injury
• Shortened recovery time from physical exertion
• Management of symptoms from chemotherapy
• Support for conventional medical treatment

Reiki is universal life force energy and always acts for the highest good. Your body is doing the healing, drawing in the amount of energy that is needed. Because of this, Reiki can never do any harm.

Reiki can be a wonderful complement to quality medical care. Reiki is not a "cure” and should not replace treatments recommended by a licensed health care professional, but rather used in conjunction with such treatments.
