Frequently asked questions
What is Reiki? (ray-key)
Rei - universal / Ki - life force energy
Reiki is rooted in the understanding that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. It originates from Japan and is an ancient Japanese technique that utilizes this universal life force energy to promote balance and well-being. This vitalizing energy is channeled through the hands of the practitioner to the client, cultivating a sense of peace and rejuvenation. The holistic approach of Reiki helps to clear energetic blockages and restore harmony.
What does a Reiki treatment feel like?
Reiki is performed by the practitioner placing their hands on or near the patient's body, with the purpose of balancing and restoring the patient's energy flow. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating a variety of beneficial results. Many people have described the aftereffects of a Reiki treatment as feeling more relaxed, at ease, and refreshed; fostering feelings of peace, comfort and wellbeing.
