What is Reiki?
Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The word "reiki" means "spirituality-guided life force energy" in Japanese.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit. Life force energy is the energy we have inside us and what causes us to be alive. If your life force energy is low, then you are more likely to get sick or feel stressed. If the life force energy is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki increases life force energy.
What is EFT (Tapping)?
Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress. It’s also referred to as tapping.
​
People who use this technique believe tapping the body can create a balance in your energy system and treat pain.
EFT focuses on the meridian points — or energy hot spots — to restore balance to your body’s energy. It’s believed that restoring this energy balance can relieve symptoms a negative experience or emotion may have caused.
Based on Chinese medicine, meridian points are thought of as areas of the body energy flows through. These pathways help balance energy flow to maintain your health. Any imbalance can influence disease or sickness.
​
Tapping helps you access your body’s energy and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress. Stimulating the meridian points through EFT tapping can reduce the stress or negative emotion you feel from your issue, ultimately restoring balance to your disrupted energy.
