The patient will lay on a table fully clothed. With relaxation music playing in the background.
The practitioner places their hands lightly on or above specific areas of the head, limbs, and torso for a few minutes in each area.
When the practitioner holds the hand over the body transfer of the energy takes place. The hands become warm and tingling and are held in place till the energy stops flowing.
Reiki energy is a form of alternative therapy referred to as energy healing. Energy healing has been used for centuries in various forms around the body. Over 60 hospitals are believed to offer Reiki services to patients. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain. It helps to enable relaxation, speed healing, reduce pain, and other symptoms of illness.
Reiki has been around for thousands of years. The current form was developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui who taught 2,000 people the Reiki method during his lifetime. The practice came to the U.S. through Hawaii in the 1940s and then to Europe in the 1980s.
