Reiki is completely unconditional, nourishing and invigorating all it touches. It requires no specific beliefs and can easily blend with current beliefs. The intent is all that is required for the energy to be called forth. Reiki energy is drawn through the practitioner by the recipient, like a stream selecting its own course and rate of flow. Some benefits expressed by Reiki recipients and practitioners have been:
• Complementing and supporting traditional medical procedures and treatments while minimizing side effects
• Strengthening and revitalizing the body’s natural defenses
• Deep relaxation to aid the lessening of insomnia, anxiety, depression, stress, loss of vitality, and loss of memory
• Enhancing creativity and nurturing personal transformation
• Restoring a sense of well-being and balance to mind, body, and spirit
