The Japanese energy system Reiki, pronounced 'ray-kee', is translated in the West as meaning 'Universal Life Energy'.  This energy is all around us and is contained in every living thing.

When our reserves of this energy become low we are more vulnerable to illness, tiredness and negative thoughts.  When our reserves are high we have more resilience, making us more energetic and we generally feel happier in ourselves.

Reiki basically re-charges our body so that it can heal itself.  Therefore, the practitioner merely balances the energy within your body and aura, your body does the rest.

Can you overdose on Reiki energy?

Simply, no.  Our bodies are like sponges and we absorb all the energy we need.  As soon as we are 'full', we cannot absorb any more.  We literally take what we need and disregard the rest.

When our energy levels drop or become 'out of sync', we can start to feel unwell on many levels, including, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Reiki healing can help with this.
