reiki is a life force energy that flows through and around us. it is a technique for things like stress, pain, tiredness, insomnia, depression and relaxation..these are just a few things that reiki can help..when a treatment is being done you will lie on a reiki bed fully clothed as the practitioner carries out the treatment..this can be done with the hands on or off of the body either way the treatment works the same..you may feel heat from the practitioners hand, this means that the healing is taking place..reiki goes to where it is most needed and can leave you feeling very relaxed and refreshed..
