What Is Reiki? Exploring the Healing Power of Energy Work

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on healing technique that channels universal life force energy to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki works by realigning and rebalancing your body’s energy, often leaving clients feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, and more in tune with themselves.

During a session, the practitioner places their hands just above or lightly on the body, allowing energy to flow where it's most needed. Many report sensations of warmth, tingling, or emotional release — signs that the body is restoring balance.

Reiki is suitable for all ages and stages of life. At Peaceful Pathways, we also teach Reiki Levels 1, 2, and Master, empowering others to harness this healing art for themselves and their loved ones.

Whether you’re new to energy work or seeking deeper connection, Reiki offers a beautiful, non-invasive path to inner peace and healing.
