But unlike, acupuncture, no needles are used. The work is done entirely with the practitioner's hands to help increase the beneficial flow of Qi through the patient's meridian system.

     A hands-on healing system based on channeling universal life force energy. Reiki teaches that a life force energy is present in all living things, and that a shortage or blockage of this energy results in physical and mental imbalance and illness. Balance can be restored by tapping into the universal source of life force energy.

     Reiki therapy generally results in an overall relaxation response. Although Reiki practitioners do not claim that Reiki can cure specific illnesses, they believe that it promotes the body's ability to heal itself and that it supports other treatment programs. Recipients feel calm and centered, more energized, or both. Reiki practitioners believe that the process also causes deeper healing on emotional and spiritual levels.

The warmed pohaku is integrated into the strokes of Swedish and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massages for deep relaxation and release of muscle tension.
