Hey there,

My name is Joyce and I'll be guiding you through a short series of Reiki healing sessions designed to help you relax,

Connect with your inner energy and bring more calm and balance into your day.

Reiki is a gentle,

Natural healing energy that anyone can receive and benefit from.

It works by helping your body relax and encouraging your own natural ability to restore balance and well-being.

Think of it like tuning a musical instrument.

Reiki helps tune your energy so you feel more peaceful and refreshed.

You don't need to know anything about chakras or energy systems to experience Reiki.

Simply being open to relaxation and healing is enough.

As a core part of the Reiki practice,

I would like to introduce you to the five principles that are called the Gokai.

The Gokai are five simple principles that guide the Reiki way of life.

They serve as gentle reminders to live with kindness and calm.

This is the Gokai.
