Reiki, originating from Japan, is a form of energy healing that employs a hands-on technique. In this practice, a universal life force energy is transmitted from the practitioner's palms to the client, facilitating emotional or physical healing. The underlying concept is rooted in the belief that an unseen "life force energy" flows through our bodies.

​

Reiki practitioners emphasize that they do not initiate or serve as the source of healing energy; rather, they act as conduits for the energy, much like a garden hose channels water. Importantly, Reiki is not a religion and is not associated with religious practices.

​

Reiki addresses the entirety of an individual, encompassing the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. This purported energy is said to permeate the body, even though it cannot be measured using modern scientific techniques, according to Reiki experts. Many individuals attuned to this energy claim to sense it.

​

During a Reiki session, clients may encounter the energy manifesting as sensations such as heat, cold, tingling, or pulsing. Some individuals report feeling the sensations moving throughout their bodies, while others may not notice any perceptible changes. Generally, most people experience a profound sense of relaxation and tranquility during Reiki treatments, with some even drifting into sleep throughout the process.
