Fulcrum Healing

Introduction: Reiki is a Japanese method of natural healing, administered by laying of hands and transferring energy from the Reiki practitioner to the recipient. While considered to be spiritual in nature, Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. Healing touch therapies are ancient practices in increasingly wide use today as scientific evidence for their usefulness grows. Reiki is now offered in many hospital, hospice, and private practice settings, applied to a variety of illnesses and conditions. Peer-reviewed research has shown that reiki is especially helpful in the reduction of stress, anxiety and depression, as well as relief of chronic pain.
