Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
"Coming from Japanese, “Rei” is translated as “Universal or Divine Wisdom” and “Ki” means “energy”. Together, these words define a system of energy medicine that shifts the body from the fight-or-flight mode to a restorative mode (the parasympathetic nervous system) that encourages relaxation and healing."

What is a session like?
At Fair Winds Reiki, each session is conducted by a Reiki Master Teacher. The client reclines, fully clothed, on a zero-gravity chair. Reiki is administered through hand positions held a short distance from the body. The client's only responsibility is to relax and be open to the experience.
What is Reiki good for?
Reiki can be beneficial for physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Not only does it promote healing in the physical body by shifting it into a restorative state, Reiki can also assist recipients in healing emotionally and expanding spiritually.
