Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation that can be equally used for healing. You can practice by laying on hands or through distance. You need not be religious in order to learn and practice reiki. It is a simple, natural, spiritual healing. You may practice Reiki on your own self - it provides relaxation, well-being and feelings of peace. Has any of you received or provided Reiki healing? I have received it in the past and it has made a big difference in my life for me. It is hard to explain the sensation that one gets during the Reiki session as the healing energy travels through the whole body and soul. I would definitely recommend it to those who are in search of a natural healing for any type of malaise.
