The following information is provided for those who would like to learn more about this powerful, but gentle, healing modality now being practiced around the world to provide relief from pain, injuries, and illness.
What is Reiki?
The word ‘Reiki’, itself, (pronounced ray-kee), is loosely based on Japanese kanji (alphabet) symbols which translate as Universal Life Force Energy. It is an ancient healing art, thousands of years old.
What does a session involve?
The practitioner sends energy by gently laying hands on or above the recipient to promote healing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Receiving a treatment is a wonderfully calming experience, similar to having a warm and soothing heat radiating through your body. Clients remain fully clothed.
Is it safe?
People practice Reiki all over the world today to treat almost any problem, condition, or dis-ease in the body. It is being recognized among medical practitioners as a safe and effective therapy that can be used in conjunction with other traditional forms of medical care.
How does it work?
Reiki heals by flowing positive energy to and through the body, thereby raising the vibratory level of the body. The Reiki energy accelerates the body’s own ability to heal by releasing stored or blocked energy, thus enabling the body to become more balanced. By straightening and clearing the energy pathways, the body’s own life force is allowed to flow in a natural, unrestricted manner.
How will I feeL?
Reiki is wonderfully calming on the body and when the body is able to relax, it can commence healing itself. It will vary with each person but you may experience any of the following: warmth, chills, tingling, twitching, a loving feeling of contentment, or waves of energy. Most people receiving a Reiki treatment will feel very peaceful and many will feel like sleeping. Some practitioners believe that 15 minutes of Reiki is equivalent to at least one hour or more of sleep.

Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular malady, it may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.
Practitioners identify predefined pressure points that are located on the hands and feet. These pressure points are reputed to connect directly through the nervous system and affect the bodily organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology therapy. By means of this touch therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain or illness can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location.
Where did it originate?
Reflexology is a healing art of ancient origin. Although not well documented, there are reliefs on the walls of a Sixth Dynasty Egyptian tomb (c. 2450 B.C.) that depict two seated men receiving massage on their hands and feet. From Egypt, the practice may have entered the Western world during the conquests of the Roman Empire. The concepts of reflexology have also been traced to pre-dynastic China (possibly as early as 3000 B.C.) and to ancient Indian medicine. The Inca civilization may have subscribed to the theories of reflexology and passed on the practice to the Native Americans in the United States.
