What is energy healing?
Energy healing addresses the spiritual or energetic blocks, imbalances or ailments in the energy body that can manifest as physical or emotional issues. Energy healing does not replace conventional modern medicine – it adds another dimension to healing the whole person.
How does energy healing work?
The energy healing modalities we use such as Reiki are no or minimal touch energy healing techniques wherein the energy healer passes hands over the person being treated. Energy healing can also be done remotely and is just as effective as in person sessions.
It is important to note that the energy healer is not the one healing you, but they are merely a facilitator or conduit of the healing energies in this physical world. Through the process of attunement to healing energy and symbols, the energy healing facilitator activates the ability to channel higher levels of healing energy. Reiki is Divine Source Energy and can only be used for good.

Reiki has been shown to be better than placebo for inducing a state of relaxation. Physiologically, this means that Reiki is effective in activating the parasympathetic nervous system, quantitatively measured as reduced heart rate, reduced blood pressure, and increased heart rate variability [Source]
The results from this large-scale multisite effectiveness trial suggest that a single session of Reiki improves multiple variables related to physical and psychological health. [Source]
