Reiki is referred to as a ‘spirtually guided life force energy’

It is an active, subtle and effective form of energy healing, using spiritually guided life force energy. 

Reiki is a natural method of self-improvement, a spiritual healing that is safe and with no side effects, simple, and anyone can utilize its benefits. 

Understanding that the body has the ability to heal itself, complete relaxation is often beneficial to meet this goal. 

There must be a commitment to a healing process by the client, and be willing to change in a positive way to receive full benefits of a Reiki treatment.

In a typical Reiki session, energy is channeled by the practitioner, through the gentle touch of the hands, on or above the body of the receiver, a practice referred to as ‘Laying on of Hands’.

• In a respectful environment, the practitioner will begin the session using a therapeutic touch, often referred to as the ‘laying-on-of-hands’, an ancient healing technique, utilizing various hand positions, on or above the client. In doing so, the Reiki, a warm and subtle energy, flows from the practitioners hands through the client’s bio-energy field. 
• As the practitioner, may use up to 15 standard hand positions, the first 4 on the face and head, first covering the eyes, side of the cheeks, top of the head (the crown Position) and then cradle the back of the head with both hands. Then positions are applied down the trunk of the body and then to the knees, ankles, and the feet. The practitioner will most likely hold each position 5 minutes or longer as guided. At some point the receiver will be asked to roll over so the practitioner can work on specific areas on the back as needed. 
• Because this Reiki energy is channeled, one cannot predict the outcome. Therefore in a session, a person can experience many sensations, like a tingling, or warming sensations or incredible relaxation. One might see colors or have emotional responses. 
• The healing that takes place during a session, can allow harmony to come back in the body as a Reiki session targets the body on every level: emotional, mental, spiritual and physical. As such, one might expect to have a sense of wellbeing, security, spirituality and peace creating a pleasant experience.
