Reiki is a form of hands-on energy healing that allows someone attuned to the Reiki energy to channel it to themselves of others. The people receiving the energy draw it in, and the Reiki flows to where it is needed to help heal issues of the body, mind, and spirit. Reiki always goes where it is most needed and serves the highest and greatest good of the person receiving it. Reiki cannot be channeled without an attunement, so attunements to each level are included as part of the class.
