REIKI is Not:

• A substitute for medicine or medical treatment, but cooperates with and enhances conventional medical efforts.
• Reiki is not a dogma, cult or belief system, mind control, hypnosis, channeling or psychic healing.
• No equipment or particular state of mind, interpretive skill or special talent is needed to give Reiki.
• It is not subject to human manipulation.
• The giver of Reiki is only a vehicle, and never takes on negativity or symptoms from the receiver.
• Reiki always works for the highest good of all.

A Reiki session is given by placing the hands on or above the receiver’s clothed body in 12 prescribed positions.  Each position is held for approximately five minutes. The resulting relaxation facilitates the person's own healing response. Careful attention to hand placement means that a standard Reiki session will cover the brain and nervous system, endocrine, digestive and circulatory systems, and the major organs within the body. The entire body benefits from a Reiki session.  Like massage and other bodywork, regular visits to a practitioner will bring lasting benefit.

Reiki has a detoxifying effect that may cause temporary headache, diarrhea or sweats. As with certain acute injuries, clients might feel worse before feeling better, as the body undergoes cleansing and as healing begins. 

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) classifies Reiki as a form of energy medicine, and specifically a biofield therapy.
