Healing Benefits of Reiki

Reiki is a traditional Japanese practice to help aid in relieving stress and promoting relaxation by triggering the the body's natural healing abilities and balancing your spirit, or chakra. Reiki is an all natural therapy that is thought to help balance your mind, body, and soul.
