What is reiki?
	Reiki is universal life energy. It connects cosmic energy with our own personal life energy. Reiki brings both in a state of balance and enhances your health, spiritual growth and personal balance. It is being transfered via the hands in a very simple way.
What does reiki do?
	You get new energy and vitality during a treatment. You don't have to be unhealthy or sick to enjoy reiki. New energy is always welcome and pleasant. Reiki stimulates the self-healing powers of the human body, which works stronger when the person receives the treatment with the intention to getting good help and healing. This healing energy cleanes and detoxifies the body and relieves blockages. This energy works on 4 different levels and brings these levels in balance and harmony: mental level physical level emotional level spiritual level

Effects of reiki?		Reiki-treatment

Reiki can be transmitted with contact of the hands on the receiver's body. The only thing the receiver has to do is be open-minded and accept this form of healing energy. If body contact is unpleasant for the receiver, the hands can be placed above the body so that the hands don't have to touch the body at all. Hands are then placed a few centimer or approx. 4 inches above the skin. Reiki travels through matter, therefore the receiver does niet have to take of his or her clothes before or during the treatment. Elements that can have an influence on the reiki-energy such as rings, belts, watches, etc. have to be removed by both the receiver and the one who gives the treatment before starting the session. The treatment is done on a massage table. A treament can take place on a chair instead of a massage table if desired by the receiver. During the treatment,the hands of the one who gives the treatment are placed on specific parts, specific positions on the body: the head, the torso, the belly, front side of the legs, the back, back side of the legs and the feet. The receiver is allowed to remain lying on his or her back, belly or on the side if that feels more comfortable. The duration of a session is approx. 75 minutes to 90 minutes: reception and relaxing (due to stress from the outside world), the treatment and a short rundown of what happened during the treatment, questions (if any) and finishing off. Relaxation music during a treatment is possible when desired. If a receiver wants extra support before or after a treament, the receiver can ask for this. Reiki can be transfered over a distance, it's also an element which is perfect for distance healing. The receiver does not have to be present to enjoy the energy. This healing works on a different level and mainly based on the concept of intentions. The receiver does not have to drop whatever he or she is doing when the distance healing starts, but only has to relax a bbit and be open for the energy that he or she is about to receive. Being calm, relaxed and open for receiving this energy helps a great amount in making this healing and the amount of potential energy received as effective as possible. usually, when sending reiki on a distance, it helps a lot to focus when the receiver offers an item related to the person who wants the distance healing, be it yourself or someone else. This can be a picture, but also objects which are closely related to the person. A personal item or gadget is equally helpful.
