Reiki

A simple translation of the Japanese word Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is Universal Life Energy.  A Reiki practitioner focuses this energy and directs it through their hands.  The concentrated flow of this energy accelerates the processes in the body to heal and balance the body, mind and spirit.  Reiki is an intelligent energy that goes where it is needed most supporting the highest good of the individual and the situation.

A Reiki session lasts for an hour.  It is generally experienced as gentle, peaceful, and relaxing.  Since Reiki works where and how it is needed, experiences differ.  During the session, the receiver lies or sits in a comfortable position while the practitioner allows his or her hands to rest gently for three to five minutes or more in each of a number of positions that correspond to the major organs, chakras, and endocrine glands of the body.  There is no need to disrobe as this energy flows through clothing and even casts.
