Reiki is a Japanese word, pronounced as 'Ray-kee'
'Rei' defined as 'universal' and 'ki' as 'energy'.   Other names you may have heard for this energy are 'chi' 'life force'or 'prana'. 
Reiki energy may help balance and harmonize the body mind and spirit
Where there is imbalance it may seek to re-dress the balance. 


A Reiki treatment can be given with the recipient seated in a chair or lying down on a massage bed
The therapist will use a series of  hand placements, usually starting with the head and moving down to the feet. 
The treatment usually takes about an hour although shorter treatments can be given and may be just as effective
 
No two people are alike and because of that uniqueness the experience is quite often different
 
Some people may feel a tingling sensation as the therapist passes their hands over a certain part of the body.  Others may feel sensations of heat or cold.
 
Deep relaxation and a sense of wellbeing may be felt, which may last long after the treatment has ended
