reiki is a healing art that comes from japan. it is a soft, subtle, universal life force energy that is channeled from the attuned practitioner and transmitted to the recipient either through touch or distance to restore balance. the sensation is often perceived as warm and gentle tingly, buzzy, dreamy energy and can put you in the space between consciousness and sleep. it often leads you to deep rest and receptivity where you can process and purge as well as see things from a higher perspective in a way that feels safe and held.
