Because of stress caused in daily life, imbalances in the mind and body can happen in a number of ways. These often show up as physical symptoms, which directly correlate to the energy centers or chakras of the body. Dis-ease tends to show up in our energy body first. When we have physical issues, it is almost always due to the fact that our body is trying to communicate to us what is emotionally wrong. These imbalances can manifest on emotional, spiritual and physical levels. When the body's energy flow is disrupted, the body experiences changes that can cause imbalance. A stressful environment, life problems or traumatic events can create blockages in the energy flow system which translate into physical symptoms.

Distant healing has been practiced by many cultures all over the world, by Shamans, Reiki practitioners, spiritual healers and even witch doctors. There are many forms of healing across distance but they all have the same goal in mind – to heal someone (or something) across space and time. The concept of a universal life energy flowing through our bodies dates back to 5,000 B.C. in India (prana) and 3,000 B.C. in China (chi). Distant healing has become more popular thanks to how accessible the sessions have become. The belief is that energy flows through and around us, so when the flow of energy is out of balance we see illness or disease as physical or emotional symptoms. Reiki can help to re-balance these energies and bring healing to the body, mind and spirit.
