Energy for Wellness

Energy therapy is a branch of complementary therapy. A wide range of treatments exist under the umbrella term of 'complementary therapy'. Each treatment has its own unique theory and practice. A simple definition can be reached by comparing the philosophy of complementary therapies with that of modern (conventional) medicine. Historically, modern medicine evolved out of an assumption that the mind and body are separate. Disease and illness were viewed as mechanical breakdowns and, generally, it was these breakdowns and the symptoms they caused that were treated. Complementary therapies aim to treat the entire person, not just the symptoms. ¿Many of these therapies are based on ancient wisdom and have been practiced for centuries.BODY: Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The theory is based on Quantum physics - all things are made of energy and depending at what speed they vibrate determines their mass. We have major energy centers in our bodies and if the energy becomes 'blocked' or 'unbalanced' in these centers, dis-ease may occur. MIND: An energy treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. You remain fully clothed as the Reiki practitioner works above your body in your energy 'aura'. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results. SPIRIT: The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means 'God's Wisdom or the Higher Power' and Ki which is 'life force energy'. So Reiki is actually 'spiritually guided life force energy.'
