What is Reiki?   Reiki is a Japanese energetic therapy.  The term 'Reiki' is comprised of two words, 'rei' and 'ki.'  Though translation is without a doubt incomprehensive, these words can roughly match our "universal" and "energy" respectively.  This energy is the all-knowing, all-loving existence between and in all things both 'living' and 'dead.'  Through the laying of hands and/or through distance healing a practitioner of this modality channels this universal force through the receiver.  It is a completely ego-less process in which both practitioner and receiver surrender to and benefit from the wisdom and effortless healing of the connection to Higher Self and to Spirit.  In short, Reiki is capable of healing in whatever capacity is needed. Being all-knowing and all-loving, Reiki goes directly into the energetic blockages within our body and aura that currently impede physical, emotional and/or spiritual wellbeing.  With this knowledge, patients can come to treatment with a specific concern they would like to work on, or simply come to receive healing where healing is needed.
