Reiki is a Japanese form of healing that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide.

What makes Reiki unique is that it incorporates elements of just about every other alternative healing practices such as spiritual healing, _ auras_, crystals, chakra balancing, meditation, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and homeopathy.

Reiki involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki utilizes specific techniques for restoring and balancing the natural life force energy within the body.

A holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing system touches on all levels body, mind, and spirit. Reiki energy has several basic effects: it brings about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body. Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize.

In Reiki, the healer [sends out energy] places the hands above the recipient & the recipient that draws the energy as needed. Individual being healed takes an active part in the healing process as opposed to having a passive part in spiritual healing.
