Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. It’s based on the idea that there’s a universal life force energy that flows through all living things. By channeling this energy through hands,one can help to balance and heal the recipient’s body, mind, and spirit.

In a typical Reiki session, you might lie down fully clothed while the practitioner lightly places their hands on or near your body. The idea is that the practitioner can sense and channel the energy where it's needed to help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
