How does Reiki work?

Reiki works on the principle of energy. Similarly to an electric current, we all have Chi, Prana or a Biofield running through and around the body. This energy system is more commonly known as Chakras. It relays all sorts of information. Your reiki practitioner tunes into the universal healing power, recalibrating your energetic systems. Healing energy flows through the reiki therapist to the patient. It's import to understand that reiki specialist are not healers but simply a medium for healing.


What is a Reiki season like?

Each session is unique, depending on the patient. Your reiki therapist will begin by asking you questions about your health and well-being to determine the best suited treatment. During treatment you will lie down on a treatment bed. Similar to a massage, the room will be relaxing, warm, inviting and safe, except you won't have to unclothe. Once relaxed your reiki therapist will attune the energy by gently placing or hovering their hands above the body . After the session, you will feel relaxed and refreshed, some clients feel connected to a higher power while others feel their body buzzing or vibrating.
