Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes harmonizing the mind, body & spirit. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that Universal Life Force energy flows through all living & sentient beings (people, animal & plants) and is what causes life. If the life force energy is low, there is more chance of feeling sick or experience stress. If it`s high, there`s more ability of being in optimal balance.

Reiki, the word, consists of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" or light,� and Ki which is "life force energy". Therefore, Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A Reiki session benefits the whole being including body, emotions, mind and spirit thus creating many beneficial effects which may include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

While Reiki doesn`t have anything to do with religion, it is spiritual in nature. It isn`t dependent on belief & will work whether one believes in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God or Universal Life Force, many find that using Reiki can put them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. In a Reiki session, the facilitator/healer, only delivers the energy. It is the recipient & their higher power take in the Reiki energy & uses it where it is most needed.
