4. Reiki & Other Healing Modalities
How is Reiki different from massage therapy?
Reiki is an energy-based healing modality, while massage therapy involves physical manipulation of muscles and tissues. Reiki practitioners lightly place their hands on or near the body, and clients often experience deep relaxation without physical pressure.
Can I receive Reiki while undergoing medical treatment?
Yes! Reiki is a complementary therapy that can be used alongside medical treatments, physical therapy, or counseling. It is not a replacement for professional medical care but can enhance healing and well-being.
Is Reiki a religious practice?
No, Reiki is not associated with any religion. It is a universal healing practice that works with energy, intention, and relaxation.
