(REI
- Spiritual Wisdom /Knowledge Ki- Universal Life Energy).
REIKI is an ancient hands-on healing technique that promotes stress-reduction,
pain relief, and facilitates healing, mentally, physically, spiritually and
emotionally. It is not a religion and no particular belief system is necessary.
Reiki acts to clear and balance the human energy field and in doing so removes
imbalances in the mental, physical and emotional bodies naturally. Reiki can be
used for facilitating the healing of yourself, others, plants, animals,
situations etc. Reiki complements and enhances traditional medicine.
The effects of this
cleansing and re-balancing process are variable, however the benefits often
include the following:
Relieve Stress
Helps to lower blood pressure
Reduce anxiety
Minimize pain
Create a sense of well being and relaxation
Increase in self-awareness

REIKI compliments and
enhances traditional medicine. A few of the traditional medical facilities that
have holistic centers and REIKI practitioners are: In Boston: Dana Farber
Cancer Institute, Beth Israel-Deaconess, and in Rhode Island: Women's and
Infants.
HOW IT WORKS -
REIKI Practitioners give REIKI to clients who lie on a massage table, fully
clothed and often covered by a sheet or a light blanket. There is no physical
pressure on the body, nor is there any tissue manipulation. Practitioners allow
the REIKI energy to flow through their hands to various parts of the client’s
body and charkas (energy centers). Usually the body is treated front and back
with particular attention given to areas of complaint. By bringing the human
energy field into balance, REIKI promotes deep relaxation, stress reduction and
holistic healing. After a REIKI session, one typically feels relaxed, renewed
and at peace.
A normal REIKI session lasts between 40 and 50 minutes,Louise Manning, Owner and Director of
