What Is Reiki And What To Expect

Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. During a Reiki treatment, a client lies down on a Reiki  table.  The Reiki practitioner places his/her hands over the  patients  body in various positions, starting from the head to the feet.

The  energy flows through the practitioner's hands to the different areas of  the body that require healing.  The energy interacts with a person's  electromagnetic field allowing blockages in the body to release, in a  similar way to acupuncture.  This improves the flow of energy around the  body, which in turn enables relaxation, reduces pain, speeds healing,  and reduces side effects of medications.

During  treatment a person may feel tingling, warm sensations, and cold.  You  may also feel nothing while the energy is healing.  This is all normal  to experience.

A Reiki  session lasts between 45 min to 1 hour.  The number of sessions that are  required will vary depending on what the client wishes to accomplish  and the particular issue or issues.
