Reiki is a system of light, non-invasive touch.
During a service, this light touch is placed and held on a series of locations on the head and front and back of the torso. Reiki is based on the belief that light touch by an experienced practitioner produces beneficial effects by strengthening and normalizing certain vital energy fields held to exist within the body. Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
