Reiki is an ancient laying on of hands healing technique through relaxation of the whole body. Reiki is a spiritually guided life force energy which is found within every living thing - without it we would not exist.

The person giving the Reiki treatment acts as a channel for the Reiki energy, which is guided spiritually by the person receiving the treatment, to wherever healing is required. The healing is therefore not coming from the person giving the treatment, but rather through them. Healing will occur when the time is right for the person seeking treatment and in the area where it is needed, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

Reiki is when the practitioner places their hands on or above the client and allows Reiki energy to flow through their hands and into the client. A treatment lasts up to an hour and is non-intrusive as the client remains fully clothed. Most treatments are given while the client is lying on a massage table, but can be given seated.

The client doesn't even need to believe in Reiki for it to work. No conscious effort on their part is necessary; if they are willing to receive the Reiki, they will benefit.

What they will experience during a Reiki treatment will vary according to what healing their body decides it needs. Their body will draw the kind of energy it requires for healing. This may be experienced as heat, cold or other form of energy and will be sent to the area it is needed.

The hands may be placed in one area and the energy may be felt strongest in another part of the body. The wisdom of their own body will direct the healing.
