What is Reiki?
Reiki is very gentle, completely safe, non-invasive healing energy that can be applied to anyone, including adults, children, or animals. It uses light touch to send healing energy to the recipient. Reiki works on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels, enhancing everything in your life. Stress relief is one of the biggest benefits of a Reiki session. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words -- "Rei" which means "God's Wisdom or the higher Power" and "Ki" which is "life force energy." So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." This Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The treatment has been described as feeling like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects. Reiki makes no diagnosis and should not replace traditional medical care; it is intended to be used as a complementary healing method.

Benefits of Reiki
Reiki has a positive affect on all forms of illnesses and negative conditions from the minor -- headaches, stomach aches, bee stings, colds, flu, tension and anxiety -- to the serious -- heart disease, cancer, leukemia, etc. The side effects of regular medical treatments have also been reduced or eliminated through Reiki healing. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post operative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. As in all avenues of life, miracles of healing have been attributed to Reiki, but they cannot be guaranteed. Stress reduction with some improvement in one's physical and psychological condition are what most experience. They have found that Reiki helps children who play sports heal faster and regular sessions help children with attention deficit disorder.
