Reiki is a form of hands-on healing that originated in India and Japan. It involves placing hands lightly on or near a person to facilitate the natural flow of life energy and promote healing. Reiki works on the body, mind, and spirit by clearing blocked energy and restoring balance. During a Reiki session, the practitioner places hands on the body's chakra points while the receiver relaxes in order to stimulate healing. Benefits include reduced stress, improved well-being, and the practitioner also feels re-energized after a session.
