The power of touch; from the Bible to Shakespeare, literature describes how the touch of a hand can resurrect the body or restore a lost soul.  Many cultures embrace touch as a way to bring an overall sense of well being.

 One form of touch therapy is Reiki.  It is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us.  It is a simple, safe and natural method of healing and self-improvement.  It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and creates a beneficial effect.  It also works in conjunction with all other medical and therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. 

Reiki treats the whole person (or animal) including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being.  Many have reported miraculous results!

While Reiki is spirtitual in nature, it is NOT a religion.  It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to have a Reiki treatment.  In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all, and will work whether you believe in it or not. 

Although I use Reiki alone, I at times feel compelled to also use therapeutic grade essential oils or natural crystals to aide in the healing process.
