A sacred Japanese practice that shares healing qi / chi / energy with or without gentle touch. Reiki downshifts the nervous system from fight or flight (sympathetic) to rest and restore (parasympathetic). "The secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases. Just for today, do not anger. Do not worry and be filled with gratitude. Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people. Every morning and evening, join your hands in contemplation. Invoke these words to your heart and chant these words with your mouth...Each of us has the potential of being given a divine gift, which results in the body and soul becoming unified … a great many people will experience the blessings of the divine … Through it, the human being will first be made healthy, and then peace of mind and joy in life will be increased...Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is well being, Well being is freedom from disease.” ~ Madam Hawayo Takata
