Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Through the positioning of hands over the client's body, energy is shifted and balanced. Reiki works with the chakras which are vortices of energy that regulate the subtle energy field of the human body. Dr. Deepak Chopra describes us as living in an "energy soup". Our bodies interact with the world around us through energetic exchanges. Just as our homes have a fuse box, with fuses assigned to various rooms, our bodies have energetic centers that relate to our physical, mental and emotional well being. When a circuit is overloaded in our home, the fuse is tripped and power is disconnected. It is similar with our chakras. When we are overwhelmed, our chakras can shut down. Reiki helps regulate the energy to reopen our chakras and allow them to properly process the energy flowing through our bodies.
