"Reiki means universal life force, the energy that is all around us, and within us.  Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on energy transfer technique which made its appearance in the continental United States around 1973.  With properly performed Reiki, energy flows through the arms and hands of the practitioner and into the cells of the person being treated to boost well-being and recovery."  from Hand to Hand by John Harvey Gray and Lourdes Gray

Reiki replenishes the body's energy field, helps the body restore and balance all its operating systems, and provides a feeling of well-being, improved energy, and a reduction or absence of pain.

"Conventional medicine will keep breaking new ground in treatment and prevention, yet often the most effective solutions are found in the medicine cabinet of the mind." ~ Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York City
