"Hi, my name is Asley Ludman from Seaside Yoga and I'm here today to tell you a little bit about Reiki. So what is Reiki? Reiki is a universal healing energy. Practitioners who are trained in, in Reiki, will actually work with their clients or patients on a table and you'll be fully clothed if you are receiving a Reiki treatment. The practitioner would then use their hands as the healing force and for the most, for most of the healing work, the hands will not directly touch the individual receiver. So the life force energy will actually be transmitted through the hands, based on different, different places that the practitioner senses maybe blocked. You may also receive a light touch through the head or various places of the body. But again, this is a healing technique that is used with a healing universal life force energy through the practitioner's hands. And the recipient may just report a feeling of greater energy and greater sense of well-being. So, that's what Reiki is."
