REIKI

REIKI means Spiritually Guided Universal Life Force Energy. REIKI is
easy to learn and even easier to use. REIKI supports the healing process
whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. REIKI promotes deep relaxation
and stress reduction. REIKI supports you on your spiritual journey.
When you make a decision to become a practitioner, the Reiki attunement
activates your body's natural healing energy and starts a cleansing
process which opens up the body, mind and emotions. Once attuned, you
are attuned for life.
