At Prana Endura, we offer various services to help our clients heal physically and mentally. While we largely offer massage therapy, we also offer services<\/a> such as Reiki. We use Reiki healing therapy to promote relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety. We\u2019ll cover what Reiki is, its benefits, and techniques used for healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Reiki? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reiki is a Japanese healing therapy that\u2019s been in use for thousands of years, but Mikao Usui coined the term itself in the early 1900s. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese words rei and ki. Rei translates to universal, while ki refers to the energy that flows through all living things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reiki is different from other services that we offer in that it focuses on energy healing. It is an energy-healing method that promotes relaxation while reducing stress and anxiety. The idea is that energy is delivered to the body through the practitioner and distributed to support the flow and balance of energy in the body. Our goal is to promote balance in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, the practitioner places their hands just above the body, moving to certain locations and holding them in these positions to promote energy flow throughout the body. Some techniques used during a session include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
