by Gary M. Spolansky Reiki Master/Teacher What is Reiki? Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive way of releasing those old hurts, pains and disappointments that underlie our physical and emotional ills. It helps by gently soothing those areas of blocked, non-moving energy so that proper flow can be re-established. As a result, a Reiki session leaves an individual feeling lighter, more confident and secure with themselves and more able to handle whatever comes their way. Reiki is an ancient healing technique that is over 6,000 years old. It is used in hospitals and medical centers around the United States as well as other parts of the world. It has also been the subject of numerous books, newspaper and magazine articles. If one were to go on the internet and type in the word Reiki, there would be hundred's of articles on the subject. How Can It Help You? Reiki can assist you to let go of the physical discomfort and pain related to old ailments or recent afflictions.
