Reiki is commonly known as “a laying of hands” technique. During a Reiki session, the practitioner is channeling a non-physical healing energy known as Ki (Chi in Traditional Chinese Medicine). Ki is drawn from the energy field that surrounds and permeates all living things. It is guided to the client, allowing a healing to take place. The healing could be physical (soothing aches and pains), mental (clearing of negative thought patterns), emotional (soften anger, grief, etc), or spiritual (allow sprit to find its place). Healing energy guides the session to blocked energy pathways and gently clears those blocks, leaving you feeling generally more at peace.
A 30 minute treatment is usually done with cloths on.
