Reiki is a safe and gentle "complementary" therapy that activates the parasympathetic nervous system to heal body and mind.
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Rooted in the idea that a "life force energy" flows through all living beings, Reiki is based on the principle that healers can channel energy into a patient by means of touch to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. Here are a few of the positive impacts Reiki has been found to have:
