Reiki & Energy Therapy |
What
is Reiki/Energy Therapy? |
These techniques are ancient “hands-on” healing methods that can assist in relieving or reducing pain and discomfort by balancing the body’s energy system. It is a natural process that supports relaxation and healing by removing blocks to the flow of energy in your body and facilitates balance and support on all levels. When the energy flow in your body is restored and/or balanced, you are more likely to feel relaxed and your body’s natural healing abilities are utilized.
How do these techniques work?
Everything in the universe is made up of energy. This life force or universal energy flows around us and is drawn into the body nourishing the cells, organs, and glands. When someone’s energy is depleted or imbalanced or the flow is restricted by stress, injury, illness, etc, one is more susceptible to discomfort, and further illness.

Just as we have physical anatomy, we also have an energetic anatomy. Our physical bodies are what we can see. The energetic aspect of our body is something that is not so readily seen, but usually can be felt or experienced. For more information about Chakras, Click Here. |
Reiki and Energy Therapy are gentle hands-on techniques, which are used to balance the energy systems in a person’s body. They promote stress-reduction, relaxation, and also supports a person’s natural healing ability. When one’s energy is restored, free flowing, or balanced, the body’s innate healing abilities are “jump-started” and utilized for healing. |
What does it feel like?
Reiki and Energy Therapy are administered through a soft touch while one is sitting or lying down – fully clothed. The practitioner’s hands are placed along energy centers and pathways along the body. The recipient may feel warmth, coolness, gentle tingling, and/or deep relaxation.
