Throughout the ages, almost every culture had benefited form some form of natural healing using the human touch.  Reiki is an ancient oriental form of hands-on-energy healing based on the same principles as acupuncture.  By the gentle laying-on of hands over key areas of the body, the energetic flow of “chi” – or vital force energy – running through the meridian lines, is brought to a point of balance.  From this state of harmonic flow, a client achieves a sense of total relaxation.  This relaxed sensation awakens the body’s own ability to heal itself.  In addition, the mind clears, the emotions stabilize, and a stronger spiritual connection is formed.  Therefore, no matter the cause of the ailment or discomfort, the client experiences greater physical vitality, more restful sleep, increased mental and creative awareness, along with more stable and joyous emotions.
