The therapy is designed to promote balance, improve flexibility, strengthen the body, reduce stress, and alleviate symptoms related to various conditions.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" comes from the Japanese words "Rei" (meaning "universal" or "spiritual") and "Ki" (meaning "life force energy"). Reiki is based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through all living things and is essential for maintaining health and well-being.

In Reiki practice, a trained practitioner channels this universal life force energy to the recipient through their hands. The process typically involves the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or near the body of the person receiving treatment. The aim is to balance the energy, promote relaxation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

Reiki is often used to:

1. Promote relaxation: It induces a deep state of relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety.

2. Alleviate pain: Some people find relief from physical pain or discomfort after a Reiki session.

3. Enhance emotional healing: It can help release negative emotions and promote a sense of inner peace.

4. Boost overall wellness: Reiki is believed to support the body’s natural healing abilities, improve energy levels, and enhance mental clarity.

Reiki is considered non-invasive and can be used alongside other forms of medical treatment, though it is not meant to replace conventional medical care. Many people find it beneficial as a complementary therapy for stress management, pain relief, and emotional balance.
