Reiki in Los Gatos CA is a type of complementary therapy that can be used in combination with traditional medical treatment. Reiki, pronounced “ray-kay,” is Japanese for “universal life energy,” a method for reducing stress while promoting relaxation and healing. Reiki practitioners believe this energy flow exists in all living creatures and that it facilitates the body’s self-healing process.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is the “laying of hands” on or just above the body to facilitate the flow of energy between the practitioner and the client. The client lies on a massage table while fully clothed, with their eyes closed, listening to soothing music to promote a relaxed state of mind. Clients have expressed a feeling of warmth or a tingling sensation during sessions while others have fallen asleep and some report feeling nothing at all. Practitioners contend that the healing energy knows what is needed for the individual client and what to target in their body.
Principles of Reiki
The principles of Reiki in Los Gatos CA has roots in three underlying premises. Those are that all life exhibits the universal life energy that has no beginning or end, universal life energy can be manipulated in a positive way to promote healing, and the body is self-programmed to heal.

Applications for Reiki
