The Japanese word reiki is pronounced "ray key" and translates as 'universal life-force energy'.
Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive hands-on healing system that uses the energy that is within and all around us to help a person heal without using pressure, manipulation or massage.
The session is usually given whilst the person is lying on a couch, or can also be given whilst they are seated and the person is always fully clothed. The practitioner's hands are then placed in a sequence of positions over the entire body in a non-intrusive way.
Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself and restore balance to one's life.
It is a system of balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of the person - mind, body, emotions and spirit. It activates the body's ability to heal itself by releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of unwanted substances and working to create a state of balance.
