Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, first founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s. A Reiki Master is able to channel universal life energy after going through a series of attunements that allows the energy to begin flowing through them. A reiki practitioner uses gentle hands-on or hands-off techniques to balance the energy in your body. Reiki can promote relaxation, stress and anxiety reduction, and symptom relief of pain to improve ones overall well being. It is a great compliment to any other medical modality you may need or be using. It’s not to be a sole source for healing but it can definitely help the everyday stresses and pains. I, specifically, work on the chakra systems within your body which are what I think of as little energy vortexes that spin and allow energy to flow. If these are blocked it can cause all different forms of dis-ease within the body so with each session I make sure these are open and flowing before the session ends.
