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

Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing. This energy is said to flow through the practitioner’s hands, into the patient’s body.

Reiki is known to promote relaxation and reduce stress, which can lead to a decrease in anxiety and depression. It can also improve sleep, reduce pain and inflammation, and boost the immune system. Reiki is a holistic approach to wellness that can help individuals feel more balanced and centered, both physically and emotionally.
