Reiki is a form of energy medicine that is performed by therapeutic touch. It works with the body’s biofield, the energy field that is believed to surround the physical body. In a standard treatment, reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the client. During the procedure some may feel heat, cold, or even a subtle pressure within. The results of reiki vary, however some of the more common outcomes are feeling a strong sense of relaxation, relief and a brighter mood. Reiki is typically practiced in conjunction with regular medical or psychological treatment and is used to strengthen wellness. In addition to supporting medical care, some use it to help cope with symptoms such as pain, stress or fatigue. It is designed to bring balance throughout the body by working with the body’s own healing mechanisms, aiding the physical body’s energy to flow in balance.
