Reiki

Reiki is a unique form of therapy that channels energy into the human body in order repair and harmonize. It is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing which involves the direct application of Chi (healing through energy forces) for the purpose of strengthening the patients’ energy system. Not unlike most other healing therapies rooted in human energy fields, Reiki’s purpose is to restore balance to the body’s vital energy.

The big difference between Reiki and other forms of therapeutic healing is that Reiki deals solely with the channeling of energy. The Reiki practitioner rarely touches the patient with his or her hands, but instead, holds them inches above the body in order to channel energy towards different places. Some positions, such as cradling the head, do require contact, but most practitioners refrain.

The practitioner’s hands provide warmth and healing energy to negative spots throughout the body. Reiki destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system, brings about deep relaxation and provides new strength and life to the body’s energy fields. Reiki is most often performed on a person whose life energy is unbalanced. Reiki corrects this balance and brings about an overall sense of harmony.
