Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan and focuses on promoting relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. It is based on the idea that a universal life energy flows through all living things, and that disruptions in this energy may contribute to stress or illness. In a Reiki session, a trained practitioner gently places their hands on or just above the body, allowing this energy to flow to areas where it is needed. The experience is typically calm and non-invasive, often leaving individuals feeling deeply relaxed and centred. Reiki is commonly used to help reduce stress, support emotional healing, and enhance a sense of inner peace. While scientific evidence for its effectiveness is still developing, many people report positive experiences. It is generally considered safe and is often used alongside conventional treatments as a complementary approach to supporting overall health and well-being.
