In our fast paced society we often do not truly experience relaxation. Statistics show 75-80% of all illnesses are stress related.* Reiki allows us to release tension. When our bodies reach this state of relaxation, healing occurs on many levels. We need to "schedule" regular times to allow our bodies to reach this desired relaxed state. This can be achieved through Alternative Healing Sessions.
