Reiki is energy work for the body. The session is an hour long in which the client lies, fully clothed on a massage table, while the practitioner works to clear and balance the client's energy. The client enters the alpha state and becomes deeply relaxed. While in that state the body, including the nervous system, begins to throw off stress and repair damage to muscle tissue and organs and even relaxes the mind from unwanted 'chatter'. Many people report they feel refreshed, invigorated and filled with a sense of well-being after a session.
