Reiki

What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient Asian healing art form that was commonly used in the time before Jesus was born.

The Reiki Practitioner channels life-force energy from all around him, literally pulling it up through the Earth, through his feet and out of his hands into the body of the patient. Many Reiki Practitioners believe that the energy comes from the creator himself and is in all of nature.



This intense form of healing focuses the energy into the body of the patient when the Reiki Practitioner places his hands directly over the area of discomfort. However, the energy does not just stay in one area, but has the ability to move to where it is needed the most. If a patient came in with severe back pain, for instance, the Reiki energy might be given to the patient
through the practitioner placing his hands on the patient’s back. But, the energy might know that the patient’s heart is sicker than his back and flow up to his heart.

Often, symptoms of discomfort are lessened or removed completely. The talk of healing illness and injury has surrounded the discipline of Reiki since its discovery.

A full Reiki session starts with the patient on the Reiki table on his back. The practitioner then starts with the patient’s head and moves systematically down the body until the feet are reached. The patient then turns over for a similar treatment on his back.

This intense from of energy healing is as old as time itself and has been revered by several of history’s most infamous rulers.
