Reiki

Reiki

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. It works by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. This raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached, causing the negative energy to break apart and fall away. Reiki works to create a state of equilibrium in our life-force energy, allowing it to flow again.

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that helps your system balance itself. Balance is always a good thing, because your body can only self-heal when your nervous system is balanced. By encouraging your system toward balance, Reiki practice can help you in any situation, even when it isn’t the only help you need. Reiki is non-invasive and very safe, with no known side effects.

Studies comparing the outcome of Reiki sessions with a practitioner versus those done with an actor, or “sham Reiki,” found evidence to suggest that Reiki is effective to relieve chronic pain symptoms.
