The Japanese word Reiki (pronounced 'ray key') translated means 'universal life energy'. The syllable 'rei' describes the universal aspect of this energy and 'ki' means the fundamental life force flowing and pulsating in all living things. Reiki is a natural and simple healing method, which allows you to absorb more life force energy.

Reiki is a light, non-invasive touch applied by the practitioner's hands, placed on (or slightly above) the body and held on a series of locations on the head, front and back of the body, and limbs. You remain fully clothed while lying on a massage table or sitting in a chair. Whatever is most comfortable for you. A full Reiki treatment takes about an hour, sometimes more. The experience of Reiki is subjective, changeable, and there are no expectations on the practitioner's part for your experience. People often comment how comforting they find the experience of Reiki to be. Some people fall into a deep, sleeplike, meditative state. Sometimes, the experience of Reiki is dramatic, while for other people, the first session in particular, may be uneventful, although they feel somehow better afterward. The most common experience is an almost immediate release of stress and a feeling of deep relaxation.
