Reiki At Amherst Yoga Studio
Reiki
Reiki is a natural therapeutic technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is based on the concept of an unseen “life force energy” flowing through us, which causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stress; if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person, including body, emotions, mind and spirit. The many beneficial effects it creates include relaxation, and feelings of peace, security and well being.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing & self-improvement everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady, and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
