Reiki

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body (without the need to touch), improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Mikao Usui developed Reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, Reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.

The health benefits of Reiki

Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. It can:

• Bring on a meditative state.

• Foster tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.

• Stimulate your body’s immune system.

• Promote natural self-healing.

• Relieve pain and tension.

• Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis.
