Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying hands on the body, and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

 

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".

 

A Reiki treatment is a thoroughly relaxing experience.  Reiki is offered through light touch with hands placed and held on a series of locations on the head and front and back of the torso.
