Reiki is a gentle and powerful energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. It originated in Japan in the early 20th century and is based on the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living things. When this energy is blocked or depleted, it can lead to physical, emotional, or mental discomfort. Reiki works to harmonize and replenish this energy, allowing the body's natural healing mechanisms to function optimally.
During a Reiki session, you'll remain fully clothed and lie down comfortably on a massage table. The practitioner will lightly place their hands on or slightly above various areas of your body, starting from the head and working down to the feet. They will use specific hand positions to channel the healing energy. You may feel a sensation of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during the session, but each person's experience is unique.
