Energy Healing is an umbrella term for the hands-on transference of energy from practitioner to client, balancing the energetic field in their physical and subtle bodies. The general principle is when energy (also known as chi, qi and prana) gets blocked due to physical, mental and chemical stressors, it can promote ‘dis-ease’ in the body. By clearing these pathways via the chakras, meridians, auric body and nadis practitioners can support a person’s innate healing system and promote physical and emotional well-being. Energy healing can be conducted hands-on, hands-off, or transmitted via distance healing. There are several energy healing modalities. For specific techniques such as Reiki, Pranic Healing, Crystal Healing, etc…please refer to those individual modalities.

Reiki is a hands-on energy healing method developed by Mikao Usui in 1922. What sets it apart is the attunements passed from Teacher/Master to student, opening up their energy fields. Reiki involves transferring universal life force energy from practitioner to client, with hands placed on or above specific body locations. Symbols are used with different intentions, visualized or drawn. Reiki can be done in person or through distant healing, lasting 60-90 minutes. It aids in pain relief, healing, relaxation, and balancing chakras and aura energy. Clients remain clothed on a massage table during sessions. For IICT purposes, a Reiki Master is someone who is qualified to teach and attune others to Reiki.
