Reiki
Reiki is a hands-on energy healing modality. It uses universal life force energy to reduce stress, encourage relaxation and promote healing. Reiki works on the Chakra system or energy centers of the body. Each energy center is associated with organs and emotions. Working on these centers can help alleviate the burdens and blockages that are stored in them and the organs.
In the Western perspective, Reiki is said to optimize the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the HPA Axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) to reduce stress and stimulate self-healing by creating a feedback loop of hormones.
