Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is Japanese for Universal Life Force Energy.  This form of hands-on  energy healing has been around for thousands of years.  It was only in the early 20th Century however, that Reiki was brought back into the world for all to use.

Picture a young child who scrapes its knee, and then instinctively put its hand over the scrape to reduce the pain.  This natural healing energy is within all of us, one only need to cultivate it.

Reiki can help to heal virtually any illness or dis-ease by  empowering the body's defenses and by unblocking acupuncture meridians and balancing the chakras.  It is extremely effective for reducing pain.

The energy has five basic effects:

• Deep relaxation
• Disolving energy blockages
• Aiding in the detoxification of the body
• Supplying healing universal life force energy
• Increasing the vibrational frequency of the body.

A Reiki practioner is a channel or conduit for the healing energy.  The energy goes through them, NOT from them.   Much of the focus of a Reiki treatment is on the chakras, or energy points of the body.  The hands are placed on strategic parts of the fully clothed body to allow the energy to freely flow to these areas in need of attention.
