Reiki is a gentle, energetic system of natural healing 

by which a Practitioner transmits subtle universal energy through the body by gently placing hands on or above a client in a series of positions which correspond to the body's energy centers or Chakras and major endocrine glands and organs.

Reiki promotes relaxation and stress reduction which accentuates the healing process ~ encouraging wholeness of body, mind and spirit.

As such, it complements medical care and psychological counseling and is provided in many clinical and hospice environments.
