Where the hands go, Reiki flows
The process by which Reiki heals is a gentle and simple process. Reiki relaxes the client by introducing additional healing energies into and around the client's subtle energy system. These additional energies allow the body to rest, relax, and focus those additional energies toward balanced normalcy and possible healings. During the relaxation process, the client's body absorbs and utilizes the extra healing energy wherever it is needed.
In order to utilize the system of Reiki, one must undergo the associated training (attunement) process. Once a student is trained, Reiki is conveyed by simply placing their hands on the subject. Additional trainings teach students are how to channel the healing energies for specific situations and applications. The final teachings prepare students to become teachers themselves and pass the healing energies and trainings along to others.
