Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) is a Japanese word which means "Universal Life Force" "Rei" means "of the cosmos" and "Ki" means "life energy" and is the equivalent of "Chi" in Chinese and "Prana" in Sanskrit. Reiki is a hands-on, non-invasive, natural healing system in which several hand positions are used to project energy into the body of the recipient. Reiki is given by placing hands on or 1-2 inches above the body. The hand positions used correspond mostly with the Chakra system. Reiki treats the whole person, encompassing the body, mind and spirit. The vitality of our being relies on this body, mind, spirit connection. Any imbalance in any aspect of this connection can lead to illness. Reiki can provide the client with relief from a multitude of health issues. When combined with traditional medicines and techniques Reiki can help to speed up the healing process and therefore is extremely beneficial in many instances; For pre-operative care Reiki can help the patient prepare physically and emotionally.
