Reiki has many benefits. A lot of people go in for Reiki treatment just for relaxation because it really does relax you. It is better than massage, it is more gentle. Most clients that I have practiced on do fall asleep during the Reiki treatment. It's a lot more gentle because they are just laying their hands on you, there is no rubbing or tissue maceration, and so people can really just relax and fall asleep. Another reason that people go is for a medical condition. It can be a long term chronic medical condition or something like a broken arm that just happens. The reason that people with medical conditions go to a Reiki practitioner is because Reiki helps accelerate the healing process in your body but also in the mind and spirit. People go for healing. I have worked on patients with all kinds of diseases and illnesses including mental illnesses. People with all kinds can come in for Reiki. It will help anything that is wrong with your physical body and with your mental well being. For people who believe they have a spirit, it will help with spiritual healing.
