What is Reiki?

 

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and healing. It uses the universal life force to promote an all-over feeling of well-being, and wholeness. A reiki treatment leaves one feeling relaxed, peaceful and balanced. The word Reiki means: rei - universal and ki - energy. And so during a reiki treatment, the universal energy or life-force flows through one’s being, promoting wellness.

 

The Chakra system:

 

There are seven major chakras aligned along the spinal column. Each organ, gland or body system is connected to a chakra. Sometimes, one or more chakras become unbalanced, causing health and/or emotional disturbances in the body. A reiki treatment also works on the chakra system and helps to balance any disturbances. Sometimes a reiki practitioner will use various healing stones or gems which are associated with the different chakras to help restore balance to the chakra system and the body system as a whole.
