More about what Reiki is:
What is Reiki? Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-above) energy healing practice that originated in Japan. The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life energy." The idea is that there’s a natural energy flowing through all living things—and when that energy is low, blocked, or imbalanced, it can affect how you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally.
 
During a Reiki session, a trained practitioner helps guide this energy to support your body’s natural healing ability. You typically lie down fully clothed, and the practitioner either lightly places their hands on you or hovers just above specific points on your body.
 
Why Try Reiki? Even if you’ve never heard of it before, Reiki is kind of like a deep reset—but for your nervous system, your emotions, and your spirit. You don’t have to “believe” in anything specific for it to work. People often try Reiki for the same reasons they might go for a massage, take a long walk in nature, or go to therapy—it helps them feel better.
 
How Might Reiki Help You? Here are some ways people say Reiki helps them:
Stress relief – Feel calmer, more grounded, less overwhelmed
Better sleep – Many people report sleeping deeply after a session Emotional healing – Supports you in processing emotions gently
Physical relaxation – Eases muscle tension and physical discomfort
Mental clarity – Helps quiet the mental noise and anxiety
Spiritual connection – Deepens your sense of peace, intuition, or purpose (if that’s something you’re open to)
 
What Does a Reiki Session Feel Like? Most people describe feeling very relaxed—some even fall asleep. Others feel warmth, tingling, or waves of peace moving through their body. Some feel emotional release (like tears or laughter). And some people just feel a quiet stillness they haven’t felt in a long time.
