We are alive because Reiki (our life force) is flowing through us. Reiki flows within the physical body though pathways called "Chakras, Meridians and Nadis." It also flows around us in a field of energy layers called the "Aura." A constant, uninterrupted supply of Reiki is needed to nourish the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body and illness can manifest.

Reiki heals by being channeled by the Reiki Healer to the physical body or Aura where there are disruptions or blockages in its flow. This supplies the needed Reiki and helps clear any blockages that are present so the Reiki can flow in a healthy and natural way.
