what does reiki involve
1 In a Reiki treatment, the practitioner uses the gentle touch of their hands to channel universal energy towards the main organs and chakras (energy centres) of the clientâs body, with the purpose of helping to heal and rebalance their life force energy. Reiki usually takes place with the recipient lying down, wearing comfortable clothing, in a quiet and peaceful environment. 2  It is also possible for the person to sit if they are not able to lie down.
