If you haven't heard of Reiki, here is what Wikipedia says about it:
"Reiki is a form of spiritual practice, used as a complementary therapy, proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, which they say will channel "healing energy" (ki). Practitioners state that energy flows through their palms to bring about healing and that the method can be used for self-treatment as well as treatment of others."
While we all need to nurture our bodies with drink, food and exercise in order to stay alive and be well, most people don't realize that there is another source that we all rely on. And that source is energy. Not the calories, but universal energy.
The good news is that the universal energy is in abundance, and it's readily available to all of us. Our bodies feed on that energy to stay alive. The energy comes in via chakras, which you can think of as spinning energy portals. There are seven major and many minor chakras in our body. The chakras are connected to each other via energy ducts. The chakras and energy channels are invisible and the work that they do can't be perceived with normal five senses.
The bad news is that sometimes those chakras and energy channels get clogged, slowing the energy flow or completely stopping it. This usually happens when a person goes through some emotional trauma or bears an amount of unreleased negative feelings.
Normally the body can repair most of the issues it encounters on its own. However when the energy flow is inadequate, it can't cope well with fighting diseases and that's when organs in our body start malfunctioning and sicknesses are developed.
There are many energy healing techniques out there, and they all have one thing in common - they clear up the energy channels and chakras allowing the energy to flow freely, supplying the body with vital ingredients for its self-repair capacity. Reiki is one of these techniques. You can either learn how to administer Reiki by yourself or pay a visit to a Reiki practitioner.
One important thing to remember is: No matter whether you choose a conventional or alternative medicine, while it's possible to ameliorate certain conditions, if the circumstances that created those don't get changed, chances are very high that the illness will strike back.
My name is Stas Bekman and I'm a Reiki Master/Teacher and do Reiki treatments in Vancouver, BC, Canada (in the Commercial Drive area). Remote sessions are available for those who can't make it to where I'm located.
I incorporate massage if you have areas that accumulate stress. Different people store stress in different places, but typically it's in palms, feet and/or shoulders. If you know where you store your stress please let me know. If not we can discover it together.
A typical session lasts about 1 hour. Some people choose to go for 1.5 to 2 hours.
It's a quiet quality time when you get to take care of yourself, relax and rejuvenate. Some people choose to sleep. It's your choice how you want to be.
When you come for the appointment you may want to consider wearing loose clothing, as it helps to relax.
I'm a certified Reiki Teacher (Usui branch) and teach levels 1, 2 and 3 (Master/Teacher) Reiki courses.

I do massage and foot reflexology, separately or in a combination with Reiki.
One of my most liked offers is a two hour body and mind bliss treatment; You first receive a very vigorous full body massage, followed by a soothing foot reflexology and at the very end you reach full relaxation with Reiki.
Please email me at stas@stason.org if you have questions or would like to book an appointment.
