Reiki: What is Reiki?
Reiki is an alternative therapy that involves energy healing. It is believed to originate from Japan and has now taken on several different forms. The goal of reiki therapy is to promote healing and improve overall well-being. During a reiki therapy session, the practitioner will move their hands directly on or over the body to transmit universal life energy and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This practice helps the patient reach a relaxed state and ease other symptoms of distress.
