Reiki
Reiki is an awareness of the unseen energy that flows through all living things and directly affect the quality of a person's health and has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. Reiki, sometimes referred to as the “laying on of hands” is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation and self-healing. Universal life force energy, (the “ki” in Reiki which is also known as “chi” or “prana”), passes through the hands of the practitioner to the person laying comfortably and fully clothed on a massage table.
When your life energy is low, it is more difficult to deal with stress, you may not sleep as well, making you more susceptible to illness. A strong life energy allows us to deal with stress more easily and we are less likely to become ill. Reiki is a technique that increases a person's supply of life energy.
During a session Angel will place her hands on or above the head, shoulders, arms, abdomen, legs and feet, depending on the need of the client. This is a non-invasive technique where no pressure is applied to the body and tissue is not manipulated, making it safe for all ages and conditions. Many people report sensing a wonderful warmth and radiance that surrounds and fills them with feelings of relaxation, peace and well-being.
Reiki is simple, natural, safe and can be used by everyone. It is holistic in that it treats the whole person. And since Reiki stimulates and supports the body’s own healing processes, it works very well as a compliment or support to other medical or therapeutic techniques. (Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment but rather as a compliment to it).
