a spiritual healing REIKI

Reiki, an energy healing technique, is based on the principle that the unseen force called “Life Force Energy” can be channeled into the patient through touch. This touch or palm healing activates the natural healing process of the patient and is said to treat the whole person, body, mind and spirit. Considered spiritual, not religious, Reiki is said to have had miraculous results on a multitude of ailments. Including, the side effects of chemotherapy, insomnia, surgical recovery and emotional and mental well-being, just to name a few.

This spiritual healing art is available to anyone through mere hands and breath. It is even said that Reiki can be practiced long distance as the unseen energy exists throughout the universe. In this time of so much virtual communication, many Reiki sessions are practiced over the phone or online. In person though, Reiki is performed by “palm healing” or laying of hands on the body.

In a mindful but detached way, the practitioner uses vital energy to evoke a healing response from deep within the system. There are no known negative side effects to Reiki and the practice is said to work if you believe it or not. It may not cure the common cold but you can be sure that at the very least, you will feel more peaceful and relaxed after a Reiki treatment.
