Stress Relief Through Reiki!

Why Reiki is a natural, alternative, and wonderful way to help keep your body healthy!

We all have stress. It’s a natural thing. Some stress is good, and some stress is bad.  From the moment we are born, we bring into this life a supply of Qi (pronounced: chee) or energy, to fuel the body’s natural healing capabilities.  When we have prolonged periods of stress, our Qi supply depletes and needs to be replenished. Stress and tension not released in our body gets stored in the fibers of our body’s muscles and organs. Over time this becomes a toxic form of energy, which can eventually lead to physical and emotional illnesses.

A Reiki (pronounced: ray-key) treatment provides the recipient with a powerful infusion/boost of this life force/energy, and balances its flow and absorption in the body, so Qi is restored. The Reiki practitioner providing the therapy acts as a channel for the concentrated flow of this energy from the practitioner’s hands into the recipients’ body (No personal energy is taken or drawn directly from the practitioner, they have just been trained to be the "messenger"). The process is extremely relaxing, almost like getting a massage, except you are completely clothed! Within minutes of receiving a Reiki treatment you can dramatically increase relaxation, decrease stress, and boost your immune system! 

Absolutely anyone can receive Reiki. Adults, children, babies, animals, elderly, terminally ill… Anyone. There are no contraindications. You can receive five minutes to an hour treatment and feel like a new person.
