A Description of Reiki
Reiki is a therapy that the practitioner delivers through the hands,
with intent to raise the amount of ki in and around the client, heal
pathways for ki, and reduce negative energies. Reiki can be practiced
in several ways: on its own, along with other CAM therapies, and along
with conventional medical treatments.
When a practitioner performs Reiki, usually the client sits or lies
comfortably, fully clothed. The practitioner places her hands on or
slightly above the client's body, using 12 to 15 different hand
positions, with the intent to transmit ki. The hands are positioned
with the palms down, fingers and thumbs extended. Each hand position is
held until the practitioner feels that the flow of energy has slowed or
stopped, typically about 2 to 5 minutes. Some Reiki practitioners
believe they are helped by "spirit guides" for proper flow of the
energy.

Practitioners perform Reiki most often in offices, hospitals,
clinics, and private homes. The practitioner and client determine the
number of sessions together. Typically, the practitioner delivers at
least four sessions of 30 to 90 minutes each.
Depending on their level of training, people can perform Reiki on
themselves as well as on people who are either close by or at some
distance away (even at a long distance). In the latter case, Reiki is a
type of "distant healing."
