While not specific to any particular disease or condition, Reiki has shown potential in helping individuals with cancer, chronic pain, infertility, digestive problems, Parkinson's disease, psychological distress (such as depression and anxiety), and stress-related illnesses.

Reiki practitioners serve as conduits, channeling universal life force energy to the recipient. The energy flows through the practitioner's hands, and the recipient determines how much energy they receive, ensuring personalized support.

Reiki sessions typically last around 50 minutes. The recipient lies fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner gently places their hands on or just above specific energy locations on the body. The practitioner uses a series of hand positions, and the length of time in each position is determined by the flow of energy.

During a Reiki session, individuals may experience sensations such as heat, tingling, or pulsing where the practitioner's hands are placed. Some may feel the energy moving throughout their body, while others may not perceive any noticeable changes. Most people feel deeply relaxed and peaceful during the treatment, and some even fall asleep.
