how does reiki work?
Back in the early 1900's, Albert Einstein told us that everything is composed of energy; everything physical that can 
be seen and touched, as well as the abstract reality of our mind - our thoughts and emotions. This universal energy surrounds and permeates everything. Your body is electrical in nature; you can see evidence of this in many ways - from getting small electric shocks when pushing a shopping trolley round a supermarket, or when you shut a car door, to briefly touching another person -sometimes you can literally see sparks! If you were to touch something very hot you would feel pain instantly because the message is transmitted electrically along your neural pathways to your brain, and lets not forget that hospitals rely on this energy to monitor your health -both the heart and the brain can be connected to machines in order to measure the strength of the electrical impulses being emitted.

Your life force can become disrupted through illness, disease and when you accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about yourself. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to your energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of your life force. Reiki is the process of 'tapping into' this universal energy and it heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy which raises the level of vibration. Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, which allows the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way once again.
