Reiki is a traditional Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It is based on the premise that we can draw limitless amount of energy from the universe to support and enhance the body's innate ability to heal itself.
     Unseen "Life Force Energy", which is the energy from our universe flowing through all living things, is spiritually guided through the hands of the Reiki practitioner into the person receiving the treatment. When our energy is depleted, we may feel stressed and ill. When our energy is increased or restored, we feel stronger, healthier, and happier.
    During a Reiki treatment, the recipient is fully clothed and is lying down on a massage table. Lighting is dim and soft music plays in the background. The practitioner gently places hands on or just above the body in specific locations, allowing the Universal Energy to be drawn by the recipient. The energy is guided by the body's own innate wisdom, treating the "whole" person as it works to connect physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances by breaking up bound up negative energies within the body.
