Reiki means "universal life energy." It's an ancient healing method that manipulates energy flow in the body. Reiki practitioners believe there is an energy force in and around the body. They believe that there is a flow of energy between the reiki practitioner and the receiver of the treatment. Reiki releases energy flows and allows the body's own natural healing ability to work. Reiki focuses on seven main energy centers in your body called chakras. The energy should flow freely through your chakras in order for you to be spiritually, physically, and mentally healthy. Reiki helps to reduce stress, anxiety, and assist with aches and pains for overall health.
