The Reiki Practitioner gently rests his/her hands over a person's body in a series of hand positions that covers the receivers head, trunk, legs and feet. Energy flows through the practitioners hands to the client's body. A reiki practitioner receives this ability through a series of attunements or initiations from a Reiki Master. Level I allows the practitioner to connect to the reiki channel. Level II enables the practitioner to provide distant or remote healing. Level III initiates the practitioner to become a Reiki Master, or a teacher of reiki.

In general a person who receives reiki experiences a feeling of warmth flowing in and around, thus restoring energy and balance. Most people experience a tremendous sense of calmness and stress relief. Reiki is a safe complementary modality included today in many types of physical or emotional healing.
