Giving ourselves time is often a rarity in this World where we are continuously plugged in and switched on. Our minds are constantly engaged and our bodies are being pushed to all kinds of limits. Reiki allows you space and time to integrate your mind, body and energy. It is easy to forget that these are not separate entities but they work together as a whole.
Our thoughts impact sensations within the body which in turn can effect our energy. 
Reiki engages the parasympathetic nervous system allowing the the body to rest and repair, the mind to quieten and energy to balance.
