Reiki is a healing technique that works on the subtle vibrational body to restore balance. It involves intuitive hand placements by a practitioner to direct life force energy. Reiki sessions typically begin with hands placed on the head and face then moving down the body over organs and glands to restore balance to vital systems. Reiki is guided by intuition and allows the universal life force energy to flow through the practitioner to the recipient.

1. “Reiki
affects
the
subtlest
level
of
the
biofield,
the
subtle
vibra7onal
body,
the
founda7onal
subtle
reality
that
holds
the
blueprint
for
outer,
measurable
reality.
Reiki
is
accessed
through
but
not
directed
by,
the
prac77oner.

our

“Reiki

Let
the
Reiki
hands
find
it.
They
will
no
what
to
do.”
