Reiki is a holistic Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and stress reduction. It's administered by gently placing hands on or near the client, based on the concept of 'life force energy' flowing from practitioner to client. When this energy is low or restricted, susceptibility to illness and stress increases; when high, it promotes well-being.

The word 'Reiki' comes from 'Rei' (Universal) and 'Ki' (life force energy or spiritual wisdom), similar to Chinese Chi/Qi, the energy animating all beings.​Reiki experiences vary, often involving a glowing radiance. It addresses emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being. While some feel nothing, many report deep relaxation, out-of-body sensations, warmth, tingling, visual experiences, emotional release, pain relief, and calm. Reiki promotes relaxation, reduces stress and tension, and supports natural healing. Post-session, benefits may include improved sleep, emotional healing, enhanced spiritual connection, a stronger immune system, a positive mindset, and continued stress reduction.
