Reiki
Reiki is intuitive energy medicine. It translates to "Universal Life Energy." The concept of healing with one's hands/energy is shared by nearly all cultures but this technique originates in Japan with a medical doctor named Mikao Usui in the 1920s.
Reiki is a healing technique that promotes balance in the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. It helps foster deeper self knowledge, inner peace, and heightened intuition. Reiki can help ease anxiety, depression, insomnia, and physical pain. Reiki is also a helpful support during/post medical treatments or chronic illness.
Reiki sessions include very gentle touch, crystal healing, sound healing, and aromatherapy. It differs from other bodywork treatments as there is no massage or muscle/joint manipulation during the treatment. During a Reiki session you may feel heat, tingling, pulsing, or energy flowing throughout your body. Most experience deep relaxation and a greater sense of peace and well-being with regular treatments. Reiki doesn't replace your regular medical care; rather, it's an excellent addition to your wellness routine.
