Reiki ( pronounced ray-key) is universal life energy that flows through all living things. Reiki is the energy that connects our higher self to everything around us. 

Rei-  Universal 

Ki- life force energy

Reiki's energy healing practice is performed by the practitioner placing their hands on or just above a client's body, Reiki can be done lying down or in a chair while remaining fully clothed except for shoes. Reiki promotes calmness and activates the relaxation response which  allows the body energy to move into balance, releasing tension, blockages as well as stagnant energy.   Oftentimes our energy becomes blocked or stagnant due to: stress, depression, trauma, fear, anger, anxiety, as well as suppression of emotions etc... 

When we are living in this state of unbalance our vibration is low, energy is not freely flowing and we are susceptible to illness and disease. By allowing Reiki energy to flow, your vibration ( overall state of being) can significantly be raised, allowing chakras to balance, releasing those things that no longer serve you,  restoring energy and allowing your body to balance itself on a very deep level. 

Lastly- Reiki is accessed through the practitioners hands as they hold space and allow Reiki to flow through them, they do not direct Reiki energy.
