Reiki is a system of natural healing which focuses on moving and redistributing energy throughout the body to increase health, balance, and well-being. A Reiki treatment consists of laying on of hands to channel energy through the practitioner to the recipient. The subtle energy allows healing to take place on many levels; physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

While giving a treatment, a Reiki practitioner focuses on the major energy centers of the body known as chakras. After being attuned to the Reiki vibration, the practitioner is then able to channel energy through their hands. A light hand placement from the practitioner over or near the major charkas allows for healing energy to gently infuse the receiver. It is a non-invasive nurturing energy. A treatment allows deep relaxation to take place and for the release of energy that no longer serves a recipient physically or psychologically.

The length of a treatment can vary but on average lasts approximately one hour. The receiver simply sits or lays down while the treatment is taking place and remains fully clothed. Music or candles are sometimes used to facilitate relaxation. During the treatment mild physical sensations such as heat, cold, or tingling may occur and varying thoughts or emotions may also arise as blocked or stored energy is moved.
