What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If our "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The body’s primary regulatory centers, including key neuroendocrine hubs (referred to as chakras in certain traditional systems,) may be understood as functional regions associated with glandular activity, hormonal balance, and neural plexuses. Integrative approaches that incorporate relaxation-based and energy-informed techniques aim to support balance within these interconnected systems, which play a role in stress response, emotional regulation, and overall physiological function.
