REIKI
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "Laying on hands," a practice dating back thousands of years. "Rei" signifies spiritual wisdom, while "Ki" represents life energy. Reiki is a unique healing energy channeled by those attuned to it.
​
Reiki works by raising the vibrational level in and around the physical body, where negative energies reside. This elevated vibration causes negative energy to dissipate, clearing and healing energy pathways. As blockages release, sensations of cold or heat may be experienced. Once healthy energy flows freely, the body's natural healing process is facilitated.
​
Guided by spiritual consciousness, reiki is inherently safe and beneficial, adapting to individual needs. It is always helpful and never harmful.
WHAT TO EXPECT
First session at least 60 minutes, subsequent sessions in 30, 60 minute appointments.​
