Ancient Paths

Below is a brief explanation of how energy work (including Healing Touch and Reiki) can affect the physiology of the client:

(adapted from Healing Touch Program Level 1 text)

Energy healing/therapy initiates relaxation to the body.  when the body relaxes, endorphins are released which relax the muscles, resulting in increased circulation and elevated oxygen levels.  Nutrients are more readily absorbed, enzymes build, hormones are regulated, and toxins released.  Healthy cells begin to regenerate and the sense of well-being that occurs promotes healing.  The immune system is strengthened, and the body is more able to heal itself.
