Reiki
Rei = Universal
Ki= Chi, Life Force, Prana, Energy, Animates all living things
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an alternative gentle healing modality where the Universal Life Force energy is offered with the intention of healing for our highest good.
Ki, Chi, and Prana are all terms to describe this Universal Life Force energy that animates all living things. When Ki is blocked or unable to flow freely, we may feel fatigue, depleted and unwell. Reiki can help to restore the flow of energy throughout our body, often opening up our energy pathways resulting in us feeling more vibrant and healthy.
As Reiki is a holistic energy modality, the intention to treat a specific area of the body often benefits the whole system. A calming effect on the body and mind may also be accompanied with a sense of connection and harmony in the immediate space and beyond. Also, depending on each person, for some there may be intense experiences.
The treatment options for Reiki include a light hands-on contact, hands a slight distance away from the body or through long distance. Long distance or remote sessions occur without sharing a physical space together, however Reiki is sent to the recipient. All treatment options are effective with a general sense of calm, warmth, rejuvenation and restoration of overall wellness.
Reiki can be used on its own for promoting general health or as a complementary therapy along with other medical or therapeutic treatments to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
