What I Love About It
Reiki is a way for your body to completely relax, more deeply even than sleep. 
There's a spiritual part of each one of us that is so deeply connected to everything that exists, and that's the place where I work. As a result, you'll experience incredible relaxation. And you may experience other things that surprise you. You may have access to insights about your life. 
You may experience healing from past traumas, without going through that trauma again, but incredibly, feeling a sensation of letting go. 

I think that letting go is a great theme for Reiki, for physical relaxation, emotional release and mental clarity. Another gift of Reiki is spiritual connection. For a person who doesn't feel their connection to something greater than themself, Reiki may inspire awe.
How Does Reiki Work?
So you may be thinking, how does that happen? 
Reiki uses hand positions that I place on or above your body. while you're laying comfortably clothed under a blanket on a cushioned treatment table. The hand positions will cause various sensations...heat, tingling, sometimes a kind of buzzing feeling or perhaps a sense of flow in your body. 
All of these sensations are not the essence of Reiki, but they are what your body notices.
What's going on behind the scenes is incredible connection to your parasympathetic nervous system, composed of your sympathetic flight or fight reaction, and your parasympathetic rest and digest reaction. If you are feeling anxious and stressed, Reiki helps. It automatically guides your body into your natural parasympathetic response. It's as if you are visiting a beautiful outdoor sanctuary where you feel at ease with the quiet of nature. That's how it works.
