Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese holistic, energy based healing technique. Working as a support mechanism for the body. Reiki re-astablishes a normal energy flow of ki (life-force energy) throughout the system, which can enhance and accelerate the bodys natural healing ability. Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through the body. The clients body then draws from the amount of energy needed. The simplicity of a Reiki session often draws some skeptisim, but, after experiencing a Reiki session, many clients return for more of the relaxing feeling Reiki produces.
