Reiki therapy

"Reiki therapy is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It involves the transfer of energy from the Reiki practitioner to the recipient through the hands, with the goal of promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Below is a general outline of the process of Reiki therapy, which may vary slightly depending on the needs of the recipient:~* The patient will be in a quiet clinic room lying in the supine position with calming music playing and aromatherapy if the patient chooses.~* The Reiki therapist will place their hands on or near the recipient's body. The Reiki therapist may use a series of hand positions that correspond to different energy centers in the body.~* During the treatment, the practitioner channels energy into the recipient's body through their hands. The patient may feel a sense of warmth, tingling, or relaxation.~* The Reiki therapist may use different techniques, such as hand movements or visualization."
