What is Reiki?

Reiki and Its Benefits

Reiki is an energy healing system that uses spiritually guided life force energy. Universal life force energy is channeled through the practitioner's hands along energetic pathways to the recipient. It is a gentle and noninvasive therapy that can heal on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

Reiki is not affiliated with any religion or religious practice. It is not based on faith, belief, or suggestion.

Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions nor do they prescribe or perform medical treatment. Reiki does not take the place of medical care. It can, however, compliment any medical or psychological care one may be receiving.

Reiki is used in hospitals, shelters, private practice, self- care and in conjunction with many other therapies.

Reiki can induce stress reduction and deep relaxation, and benefits nervous or stressed animals. This is why it is often practiced at shelters and end-of-life care. It can ease the dying process for both humans, animals and their loved ones.

Reiki is always positive and can do no harm. If there is an excess of Reiki, it will simply overflow. That is why it is a great basis to practice any other healing system easily and safely.
