reiki is a japanese technique of "laying on hands" for relaxation and healing that was rediscovered in the early 1900's and subsequently brought from japan to the to the west.

using a series of hand positions over the major chakras and meridians of the body, a reiki practitioner transmits focused healing energy (called reiki) to the person being treated and thus helps them to relax and realign their energy bodies.

reiki sessions are above all for the purpose of relaxation and stress reduction which, as noted in the energy healing introduction, help the body in the self-healing process. receiving reiki is a soothing and relaxing experience, and it is always beneficial.

one can never receive 'too much' reiki, for the recipient always knows instinctively how much healing energy she/he needs at a particular time. indeed, the actual flow of healing energy can only be activated through the combination of a practitioner's positive intent to heal and a recipient's desire (even on a subconscious level) for a return to health and balance.

in the history of its use, reiki has been known to contribute to the healing of every known illness and injury. it therefore works very well as a complementary therapy, to both allopathic and 'alternative' healing modalities such as homeopathy and acupuncture. please note that it is always recommended that anyone wishing to receive reiki for previously diagnosed health conditions do so under the supervision of an enlightened medical doctor or other health care professional.

as with practices such as meditation and yoga, the effectiveness of reiki increases with repetition over time. therefore, for those wishing to fully benefit from this healing technique, a program of regular reiki sessions is highly recommended.

reiki can be learned and practiced by anyone. although receiving a full treatment from a trained reiki practitioner allows oneself to relax and completely enjoy the experience, reiki is a wonderful tool to have 'on hand' for emergencies and regular self-treatments. katherine would be happy to recommend master teachers in your area (or refer you to someone who can).
