This  energy is all around us; it is the source of all life. Without it coursing through us we would cease to exist.   FOR HEALING Reiki helps the body to heal itself, so that stress is reduced and the symptoms of illness are often relieved. It builds self-esteem. Reiki is not intended to be a substitute for therapy or regular medical care. Reiki works in conjunction with and as an adjunct to medical and non-medical treatment and therapy.   FOR WISDOM Reiki helps clients and practitioners become more in touch with their own inner wisdom. There is no dogma or religion involved. Reiki embraces and enriches all religious teachings... but at the same time does not require any religious belief. How is Reiki performed? A Reiki treatment is a light, hands-on process whereby a Reiki practitioner transfers (channels) Universal Life Force Energy to the recipient. Reiki even works through bandages. The receiver's willingness and need determine how much Reiki is received and the progress that is made in one's own healing process. Reiki can relieve pain and acute symptoms quite rapidly while more chronic problems may require extensive treatment. Length of treatment depends upon the root cause of the problem and the amount of energy needed to revitalize and bring in to balance the ailing area of the body. Receiving a Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance and has many benefits for both client and practitioner, including altered states of consciousness and spiritual experiences. How Does Reiki Work? We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical  body though pathways  called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
