Reiki is a form of alternative healing that involves the transfer of energy from a trained practitioner to a recipient. During a Reiki session, the recipient lies down or sits comfortably while the practitioner places their hands on or near the recipient's body. The recipient remains fully clothed during the session. Reiki is based on the principle that there is a universal energy that flows through all living things, and that this energy can be harnessed to promote physical, mental, and emotional healing. The practitioner acts as a conduit for this energy, allowing it to flow through their hands to the recipient. Reiki sessions can be beneficial for a variety of physical and emotional issues, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and stress. It can also be used to promote relaxation, improve sleep, and increase overall feelings of well-being.
