You can do something that is very simple, natural and safe to reduce your stress, enhance your immunity and promote feelings of well-being. It will console, nurture and calm your mind, body and spirit. How? Through Energy Therapy!

What is Reiki Relaxation Therapy?

Reiki is a Japanese therapy for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. When giving a Reiki treatment, one applies “laying on of hands” or a light touch. It is based on the idea that unseen life force energy flows through you and causes you to be alive.

If your life force energy is low or out of balance, you are more susceptible to illness and stress. If it is in balance, you are more apt to be happy and healthy.

When ill, injured, or under stress, the flow of energy within your body is obstructed and unbalanced. When healthy, the life force energy flows freely in, through, and out of your body.

The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words: Rei denotes Divinely Directed and Ki denotes Universal Life Force Energy. Ki is the Japanese equivalent for the Chinese Chi, or the Hindu Prana. Therefore, Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not about religion. It has no dogma or belief system that must be learned in order to use and benefit from Reiki. In fact, like acupuncture, Reiki works whether or not you believe in it.

What is Healing Touch?

Healing Touch is a gentle, relaxing, nurturing energy therapy that assists you in balancing body, mind, and spirit. It is remarkably effective for a variety of ailments.

Healing Touch uses a combination of hands-on and hands-off techniques to influence your energy system restoring it to balance and harmony as it helps your body to self heal.

The Healing Touch practitioner is trained to use advanced energetic sequences that enhance your healing space and elicit your body’s own natural recuperative responses.

Dr. Alan  Asks some important questions of interest to Darien residents - Chiropractor Darien Dr. Alan Asks...

If you have a fever, are you sick or healthy?
Chiropractors love asking this question because it gets to the root of the chiropractic difference. Turns out fevers, vomiting, coughing and even sneezing are all healthy responses. It means your body is working correctly. Taking medications to suppress these natural processes can actually prolong your recovery.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Darien office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
