Reiki is a Japanese word for "universal life force" and is one of the oldest energy therapies. It is performed either in a chair or on a massage table with the client fully clothed. Practiced worldwide, Reiki is thought to bring the body and emotional into balance. The practitioner becomes a channel for the universal life force energy and uses touch to transfer energy to the client. It has been said that a 15-minute Reiki session is equivalent to one hour's sleep! It is deeply relaxing therapy with many body/mind/spirit benefits.
