Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive practice using light touch or hands held just above the body to promote relaxation and support the body’s innate healing processes. Physiologically, Reiki may activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping lower stress hormones, ease tension, and create the calm state necessary for repair and restoration.

Beyond relaxation, Reiki works with the body’s biofield which is the subtle electromagnetic field generated by every cell, organ, and system. The heart and brain produce especially strong fields that influence overall coherence, or the state of balance between mind and body. Through focused intention and presence, Reiki practitioners help realign these subtle energetic patterns to restore harmony and flow.

From a quantum perspective, Reiki aligns with concepts of resonance and interconnectedness, suggesting that energetic influence can occur beyond direct physical contact. While the exact mechanisms remain under scientific exploration, research in biofield and quantum biology supports the idea that subtle energy interactions may help regulate cellular communication and overall physiological balance.

Sessions often leave clients feeling grounded, centered, and at ease which reflect the body’s natural ability to return to equilibrium when given the conditions of calm and connection. Clients may also notice shifts in physical tension, improved sleep, or a general sense of balance in the days following.

Reactions can be subtle or profound. Some individuals experience an immediate sense of relief, while others may notice gradual changes as the energy continues to integrate. It’s also normal to feel tired, emotional, or even energized after a session which is simply our body’s way of processing and recalibrating.
