Reiki is very simple and straightforward. It is in this simplicity and uncomplicated reality that Reiki harness's its' great healing qualities.
A Reiki practitioner, filled with the universal life force energy of us all, gently does a laying of hands on the energy centers, either directly on your body or just slightly above. This energy is connected and shared with you, opening and restoring your bodies energy centers or chakras.
Unlike massage, Reiki is performed over your fully clothed body. A massage table is usually used, although Reiki can be done anywhere. Reiki energy can even be sent long distances to great affect.
Children and animals also respond equally well to the practice of Reiki. So simple, so powerful, so effective. Reiki is an ancient healing technique that is as powerful today as it was centuries ago.
