The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means God's Wisdom or the Higher Power. And Ki which is life force energy. Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying hands either lightly on or just above the body. It can also be done at a distance by proxy, as it transcends time and space and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us, similar to the TCM acupuncture system. If one's life force energy is blocked, then we are more likely to feel stress. If the blockage persists, then it can manifest as physical illness. Oppositely, if our energy is flowing easily, we are more capable of being happy and healthy in a state of true wellness. Because it is holistic, Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

Most people report that reiki feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. In fact, many well-known hospitals such a Johns Hopkins University, Cleveland Clinic and many others have adopted Reiki programs.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God or the Universe, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it. While Reiki is not associated with any one religion, it promotes harmony and peace with others.

Reiki is available to everyone regardless of spiritual development or intellectual capacity. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

Adding Reiki to a massage makes for a relaxing experience. It can also be done completely on its own. Reiki can be scheduled in person with Doug or Charity. Or can be scheduled via distance with Charity.
