Reiki is an ancient healing system derived from Tibetan Buddhism that uses a laying on of hands to channel energy. Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words Rei - "Gods Wisdom or Higher Power" and Ki "life force energy" hence Reiki means "spiritually guided life force". Ki is the same as chi (Chinese) and prana (Indian) which the free flowing of, is the aim of yoga, T'ai chi and Acupuncture.
A Reiki session helps to reduce stress, aid relaxation, promote healing and improve wellbeing. Reiki is suitable for adults and children of all ages and states of health. A session is received dressed either laying or sitting and lasts about 1 hour.
