Reiki is based on natural Eastern medicine with the intention of using energy to support the body’s natural healing abilities. Though there isn’t any scientific evidence to support this idea, Reiki has been studied as a healing method for all sorts of pain, anxiety, fatigue and depression.

Reiki originated in Japan with the meaning of universal life energy. The technique is based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of light touch or sort of hovering of the hands to then activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is a subtle and effective form of energy work using spiritually guided life force energy. Reiki is similar to the concept of positive thoughts yield positive results.

A Reiki session can help ease tension and stress and can help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. Reiki is a great tool to use as a complement to traditional medicine and is practiced in many hospitals and medical care settings.
