Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-above) Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction that promotes the body’s natural healing abilities by balancing energy.
You’ll rest fully clothed, either lying comfortably on a table or seated. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above specific areas of your body, following a series of positions designed to facilitate the flow of energy. In Reiki, this “flow of energy” refers to the movement of universal life force energy through the body’s energetic pathways. The practitioner acts as a conduit for this energy, helping to clear blockages, restore balance, and encourage the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Many clients experience deep relaxation, a sense of calm, or a gentle warmth or tingling sensation as this energy flows and balances throughout the session.
Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewelry if possible. Arrive with an open mind and communicate any health concerns or intentions with the practitioner.
Most people feel deeply relaxed, sometimes experiencing warmth, tingling, or a gentle flow of energy. Others may simply feel peaceful or refreshed.
