What is Reiki?

Reiki is a spiritual healing art. It is not massage nor is it based on belief or suggestion. A Reiki session usually takes an hour, some practitioners offer 1 1/2 hour sessions. The session is performed by a Reiki Practitioner (RP or RMT) using specific hand positions. During the Reiki session, the client is fully clothed while comfortably reclining on a massage table or seated in a chair. It is stress-reducing and a very relaxing experience. Reiki sessions are a great investment in yourself.
