Reiki is an energy healing art that originated in Japan many years ago. Today it is a well-respected technique for reducing stress and bringing about calm and inner peace, reducing chronic pain, improving sleep and enhancing feelings of well-being and as a complementary treatment for those recovering from surgery or going through chemotherapy.
Your treatment starts by laying down on a massage table fully clothed. If you prefer you can be seated in a chair although when reclined it’s easier to relax. The practitioner starts at the head using light touch and then continues to a series of locations on the front and back of the torso. While doing so subtle energy flows through your body.
During the session most people feel deeply relaxed. Muscle tension melts away. Many let go and fall asleep. Some people experience different sensations such warmth or tingling, vibrations or coolness while others report seeing colors. And some don’t sense anything. Each person is different. There is no right or wrong. Either way, one is still absorbing the energy of Reiki that will help them heal and renew.
