Natural, homeopathic and alternative types of healing are gaining popularity. The fact that they are pain free, non-invasive, and have no recorded negative side effects is what makes them attractive to so many individuals. Attending a session with a reiki healer can help a person find relief from a lot of different conditions.

This is a Japanese form of natural healing based on the concept of using the spirit power within us all. It is made by combining the words Rei, which means "Universal Life" or "Higher Power", and Ki, which means "Energy". When used together they come to mean "life force energy" which is believed to be what gives the body and soul the ability to heal itself.

This practice is not associated with any specific system of belief, not is it based on a particular religion, though it is very spiritual in its nature. To use or perform this technique, there is no requirement to follow a set dogma. The power to used transferred energy to heal can work even when the client does not entirely have faith in it.

During the sixty to ninety minute session, the client may either sit comfortably in a chair or lay down on their back upon a table. It begins with a discussion on the individual's main concerns, specific issues and them expressing what they hope to achieve by undergoing this type of healing. With this information the practitioner is able to focus the energy on key areas to target those things which were mentioned.

It is generally suggested that the client wear loose, comfortable, non binding or restricting clothing to the session. The individual will always remain completely clothed, though the lighter the garments are, the more easily the energy exchange tends to go. There is rarely any physical contact between the practitioner and the client, though at times very light touches may be necessary.

Beginning at either the client's head or their feet, the practitioner will proceed through a series of specific hand movements. These are designed to direct the energy so as to balance the chakras and relax the patient. They can then focus on areas of negativity or key trouble areas to target energy directly at the problems.

This practice does not claim to be a cure for any diseases or illness, though it is used to treat many conditions. These include stress, anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, pain, headaches, asthma, addiction and detoxification. Many people find this technique quite useful in dealing with, and overcoming, a variety of mental and physical maladies.
