Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) is a Japanese word meaning “universal life force energy.”  Reiki is a Japanese system of natural healing that involves the practitioner channeling energy through the palms of the hands as they are applied on the client to promote balance and improved health of body, mind, and spirit.

Reiki practitioners, who are trained in the specific 12 hand positions and method of delivery that are used in the treatment, also have received energetic attunements that have helped to clear their own energy systems so that they are able to be channels for the Reiki energy to flow through them.

Treatment is totally safe and non-invasive with no physical manipulation involved.  It is an excellent adjunct to traditional treatment methods, particularly in the case of treating cancer, tumors, and chronic disease and anxiety.  Reiki treats a person’s system in all areas:

• Mental:  by easing stress and anxiety.
• Emotional:  by promoting relaxation and calm.
• Physical:  by relieving aches, pains, and symptoms of illness.
• Spiritual:  by promoting peace and balance.

Reiki can also be used effectively on animals and plants!

I have the pleasure of teaching Reiki and Mind/Body methods in Japan as well as in the United States.  Many hospitals now incorporate Reiki in their repertoire of alternative methods available to patients.  If you google “Reiki research validity,” you may be surprised to find how much research supports the use of Reiki for healing!
