When we are young we are able to replenish our energy reserves, as we get older, we use up energy but are unable to replace it with the same ease. The result will be, lack of energy, which can cause illness and disease, imbalance, or a loss of the ability to live to our real potential. With Reiki, the energy is drawn from the Universe and transmitted through the palms of the hands to achieve a re-balancing of the life force. Being in the state of balance enables us to enjoy life, find contentment and have a sense of connectedness around us.
