Reiki

Scientific theory suggests that the body is made up of cells that contain elementary particles that emit electromagnetic force and that our bodies are energy in motion. Reiki is a healing practice that promotes balance of this energy on every level — body, mind and spirit. A Reiki session is a noninvasive, light touch to a clothed recipient.

Reiki practice began with the teachings of Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1920s. Chujiro Hayashi, medical doctor, simplified this healing practice. Together with his student, Mrs. Hawayo Takata, Reiki was introduced to the U.S. in 1938. Reiki is now practiced throughout the world.

The Reiki recipient is fully clothed and can either be lying down or seated. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or slightly above the head and the front and back of the torso. A session is typically one-hour and is priced at $75. Hospital and hospice calls are available. A session for a household pet can also be arranged.
