Reiki is a hands-on method of balancing and strengthening the body’s subtle life energy at all levels of one’s being. The technique is performed on a massage table with the client comfortably clothed. The touch is light and non-intrusive. Recipients of Reiki typically report deep relaxation, an increased feeling of well being, and relief from the effects of stress. Although people commonly experience physical, mental and emotional benefit from Reiki, it is not a replacement or substitute for medical treatment.
