REIKI​

Reiki is a two-part word and means life force energy REI connecting with your own personal energy KI , REI- Ki. This is an ancient Tibetan healing practice During a one hour Reiki treatment  the recipient will lie comfortably on a treatment table while the Reiki practitioner scans the energy field with their hands for all imbalances and areas of incongruences. 

Once identified the practitioner will spend the remaining time directing a steady flow of Reiki energy to bring harmony and balance to your energy field. Reiki works to engage the parasympathetic nervous system into what's known as " the relaxation response " a term coined in 1975  by Dr Herbert Benson, professor, author, cardiologist, and founder of Harvard's Mind/Body Institute.

During this state of deep relaxation inflammation decreases while the immune system is naturally enhanced. The sympathetic nervous system is tamped down ( fight or flight) as they can not both operate at the same time. The body releases endorphins which are our feel-good hormones. Under these conditions the body is better able to reach a state of homeostasis and make tiny micro repairs. 

Reiki is excellent for pain management, stress management and a variety of mind/body concerns.
