Reiki is a simple process that can have a profound effect on the body. In the easiest of terms, reiki is an energy healing technique that works holistically on the body, meaning that it uses natural healing vibrations to treat the mind, body, and spirit. The main purpose of the treatment is to not only support the physical mind, but to also promote a positive well-being and mind.

If you are curious about what reiki can do for you, check out these many incentives that come from the healing power of reiki:
What Happens In A Reiki Session
Reiki is usually held in a peaceful setting, but it truly can be carried out anywhere at anytime (I actually had a reiki session in the middle of a coffeeshop). Within your session, you are usually seated in a chair or could be lying on a coach or table, but generally you will find you would want a comfortable place. Within a session, the reiki practitioner usually begins by placing their hands lightly over specific areas of the body, usually leaving them there for around two to five minutes. The hands usually go around twenty places of the body, finding specific areas in which energies can be grounded, centered, extracted, or more.
While the practitioner places their hands over or on the body, the energies are being transferred between you and the conduit. During this time, the practitioners hands may become warm and even start tingling. Each hand position is held until the practitioner can no longer sense energy being transferred or the energy has stopped. Once that happens, the practitioner may move their hands to a different part of the body.
Mental Benefits of Reiki
Within a reiki session, most people have reported an overall greater sense of well-being and positivity. During the practice, people have found that they feel less stressed, becoming more energetic and clear-minded. However, there are also many other mental benefits that come from a session:
