Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a safe and effective form of energy healing done by a trained practitioner. The best definition I have heard for Reiki is that it is Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy. Life force, sometimes referred to as prana (Sanskrit) or chi (Japanese), is the non-physical energy that animates all living things. It is what gives us pep, what makes the flowers grow, what infuses our breath with power and sustains all life. With Reiki we add the element of spiritual guidance meaning Universal Consciousness or Higher Self that is informing the life force energy to bring about the most healing outcomes.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is NOT a religion. It has no dogma and there is nothing you must believe in order to receive the benefit of Reiki treatments or to become a practitioner. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all. It will work whether you believe in it or not. And because Reiki energy is guided by Universal Higher Consciousness, it can never cause harm.This pure healing energy will only provide, gentle, loving support for whomever the healing is directed. Reiki can used to heal people, animals, or locations.

Sometimes our wounds are physical in nature and Reiki will aid the healing process in a variety of ways. Some of these include alleviating pain, reducing inflammation and healing time of broken limbs, incisions, cuts and bruises. Supporting the body in overcoming chronic and acute illnesses. Additionally Reiki is a highly effective method for restoring balance to our mental and emotional states while clearing energy blockages held in the physical or subtle body.
