Reiki in Bacalar: Energy Healing, Rest & Gentle Support
Reiki is a gentle energy-healing practice often experienced lying down, clothed and relaxed. The facilitator may place hands lightly on or above the body while holding a calm, supportive space.
Reiki is subtle. Some people feel warmth, tingling, emotion or deep rest, while others simply feel peaceful or notice very little. The value is often in the quality of presence and the chance to slow down.
