Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is the act of lying on of hands; an ancient and natural healing technique. For both the “giver” and “receiver,” it can feel like a flow of a high frequency of energy throughout the body, an energy the Chinese call Ch'i or Ki. The energy or “Ki” flows within the physical body using pathways called “charkas” and around the body in an energy field called the “aura.” Any disruption or blockage of that natural energy flow can cause all types of illness and disease.

Energy is also responsible for our thoughts and feelings. When we are positive about life, we increase our energy flow and we feel better. When our thoughts and outlook are negative, there is a disruption of our energy flow. Cells and organs are affected by the diminished flow and blockages that lead to loss of energy and illness.

How does Reiki work?
Reiki is an energy that comes from the highest spiritual source, having its own intelligence and knowing exactly where to go and what to do. When the practitioner begins the session, the energy goes into and through them, out their hands and into the person being treated. Coming from that “Higher Power” or “Source,” the supply of energy is limitless. Also, since the energy first flows through the Reiki practitioner, both the practitioner experiences an increase in their own life force energy, and receives a healing, along with the person being treated.

Reiki heals on all levels - body, mind, and spirit. By flowing through the affected body parts, charging them with positive energy, Reiki raises the vibrational level. This causes the negative energy blocks to break apart and fall away. Reiki clears, straightens, and heals the energy pathways, allowing for a healthy flow of energy.
