What is Reiki?

Follow me on this spiritual journey

You might have heard of the term reiki before or of its practice, benefits, or have been suggested by a doctor or friend to try it along with your existing clinical treatments but are unsure whether it is right for you.

So let me walk you through the basic principles and history of this millennium old technique.  The word reiki can be broken up into two parts from its asian descent. Rei which means ‘God’s wisdom or higher power’ and Ki which is ‘life force’. Many have interpreted this into ‘spiritually guided life force energy’.

Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of natural hands-on, energy-based healing that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through the practitioner. This treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you as it was designed to treat the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit. The goal being to heal you spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally.
