Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy technique that refers to the use of channeling energy to balance the body, mind, and soul. Through light touch with hands on and/or off the body, Reiki practitioners can help facilitate balance through the body. Reiki can be somewhat challenging to explain, but understanding that everything has an energy field that is measurable in terms of frequency can help. Through Reiki, subtle shifts are created in the energy field to bring equilibrium and balance.
