Joyful Living Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for relieving stress that also promotes healing. The word Reiki also applied to the beautiful healing energy that flows through your entire being when introduced to your body by a Reiki practitioner.
​
​It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through all of us. The state of your life force energy directly affects your health and quality of life. If it is low, dealing with stress is difficult, you may not sleep well, and you are more likely to become ill.
​
The word Reiki (“ray-key”) translates to “spiritually guided life force energy.” Receiving Reiki helps strengthen your immune system and restore the natural balance of your life force energy, so that physical symptoms and emotional distress clear naturally.
