What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese “hands-on” technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Beyond this, there are as many definitions of Reiki as there are Reiki practitioners. Everything in the universe is comprised of energy. Life force energy flows within the physical body through pathways and energy centers called Chakras and Meridians. It also flows all around us in an energy field called the Aura. This force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When the flow of this force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in the body. The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It is affected when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves.

Stop and reflect for a moment. Imagine the implications of the universe around us made from energy which can be shaped and manipulated by thoughts. This is the implication of both Quantum Physics and anci
