The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy.

Reiki is a type of energy healing. The practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain.

Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.

Mikao Usui developed Usui Reiki Ryoho, the most current form of Reiki, in 1922. However, people have practiced Reiki for about 2,500 years. People also refer to Reiki as palm healing or hands-on healing.

Sound healing is the practice of using vibrational frequencies to heal the body on a cellular level. Sound healing works in the framework that all matter vibrates at a specific frequency, and that dis-ease, depression, anxiety, stress, or heavy energy, causes humans to vibrate at a lower frequency.

Also known as vibrational medicine, the practice utilizes the human voice as well as objects that resonate- singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, drums- to go beyond relaxation and stimulate healing.

A crystal is a solid structure, and it’s composed of repeated, symmetrical structures that make up the crystal on a molecular level—we call that the crystal lattice. So crystals are purely themselves, in that sense. The lattice structure is usually just one mineral. For example, quartz is purely silicon dioxide—that’s it. Its chemical purity, combined with a crystalline lattice structure, allows the crystal to carry a higher, energetic frequency. Crystals are the vehicle by which we experience these high frequencies and energies. crystals’ frequencies directly correlate to certain chakras, making crystal healing an extremely useful healing method.
