Reiki is an Eastern alternative healing method that has been popularized in the West over the last 50 years.In the last 10 years it has been accepted as a complimentary practice in hospitals and has been accredited by many teaching institutions, including the University of Minnesota.Reiki can be placed in the category of energy, spiritual, or hands-on healing.

During a Reiki treatment your practitioner calls upon the Universal Life Force to flow through their own specially prepared energy field.The energy, or qi, is not their own and does not absorb or pass on any of the practitioner's own energy.The Reiki energy is totally additive to your own energy.Whileyou receivethe energy, it will be guided by your own spirit to the place and level requiring healing, without possibility of judgmental error by the practitioner.

You may choose Reiki to assist you with healing the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual aspects of yourself. Your spirit knows best where the energy with serve you and will guide the energy to the source of what needs to be healed.Reiki goes to the cause and not to the symptom. The true healing may not be immediately perceptible or visible as experienced in Western traditions.

A hands-on treatment is given while you rest on a massage table, fully clothed, in a relaxing atmosphere.While you are relaxing into your own mind's journey, the practitioner will gently rest her hands along your primary energy centers. However, if you are not comfortable or have physical restrictions with touch, the Reiki can still be received by the practitioner's holding her hands over you.
