It is important to know and understand that the Reiki practitioner is not doing the healing. Healing energy flows through not from the practitioner. Reiki works by encouraging the healing processes of the body and mind and by restoring and balancing the flow of energy in the body. The body itself regulates the amount of energy it receives and where it goes.

Although Reiki techniques may appear simple, the effects and results vary from person to person. Most people experience deep relaxation and feel calm and peaceful. After a session, they feel refreshed and renewed. A number of sessions may be required for optimal results.
