What Is Reiki
The word "Reiki" means "Universal Energy." It comes from the Japanese words "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy).
Reiki is a type of energy healing.
Each session is specially designed for individual. This can be for general relaxation or to help open the channel to send energy to a specific need.
What happens in a Reiki session?
Reiki is held in a peaceful setting. The client will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed. There is music and a relaxing atmosphere.
The practitioner places their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the head, limbs, and torso using different hand shapes, for 5 or more minutes. The hands can be placed over 20 different areas of the body.
While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, the transfer of energy takes place. During this time, the practitioner's hands may be warm and tingling or cold and clammy. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy has stopped flowing.
When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has abated, they will remove their hands and may place them over a different area of the body.
