Reiki
A gentle, hands-on energy practice traditionally used to support relaxation, stress relief and inner balance.
About the Service
Reiki is a traditional Japanese energy practice developed in the early twentieth century, built on the idea that a practitioner can channel a gentle, calming energy through light touch or by holding the hands just above the body. The word itself combines two ideas — “rei,” often translated as universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy — reflecting the tradition’s focus on supporting the body’s own sense of balance rather than directing or forcing anything.
Within Infiniti Soul, Reiki is offered purely as a holistic wellness practice. It is not presented as a medical treatment, and no specific outcome is promised. What it does offer is a quiet, structured space to slow down — something many people find valuable alongside their existing routines, medical care, or simply as a pause in an otherwise busy life.
Sessions tend to follow a familiar rhythm: a short conversation about what brought you in, a period of quiet treatment, and a few minutes afterward to reorient before returning to your day. There is no performance expected of you during a session — you are welcome to simply rest.
What the Session Involves
You'll typically lie down on a treatment table or sit comfortably in a chair, fully clothed, with shoes off. The practitioner will explain the session format before beginning, then move through a sequence of hand positions — either resting lightly on the body or hovering just above it — spending a few minutes in each position.
Many people describe the experience as deeply relaxing, sometimes drifting into a light doze, sometimes noticing warmth or a tingling sensation, and sometimes feeling very little at all — all of these are considered normal responses, since everyone experiences the practice differently.
Who May Find This Practice Useful
Reiki tends to appeal to people looking for a gentle, low-intensity way to unwind, especially those who find stillness difficult to access on their own. It can be a useful companion practice during stressful periods, transitions, or simply as a regular reset.
It is equally suited to complete beginners and to people who have explored other energy or bodywork practices before — no prior experience or belief system is required to take part.
