“Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen ‘life force energy’ flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.”
The above quote is from http://www.reiki.org/faq/whatisreiki.html , which is a great, reliable source for finding out more information. I am a level II Reiki practitioner, with hopes of becoming a Reiki Master once I’ve had some more valuable “hands on” experience. In my healing philosophy (remember, I’ve been an RN for 45 years!) much of our dis-ease in life is the result of stress – stressful thinking and stressful situations. Reiki is a therapeutic and non-invasive technique for healing through stress reduction. It has worked for me, and has very positive results for those on whom I have used it. Feel free to call me for more information – I offer a complimentary evaluation and first treatment, so my clients can try it out for themselves with no hassles.
