Reiki is an energy healing technique in which the instructor uses gentle hand movements by hovering over you to channel the flow of life force energy throughout your body, aiming to alleviate stress and promote healing. This technique is based on the belief that life force energy flows through all living things and that when this energy is blocked or stagnant, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances.
