Top athletes know the importance of mental focus and muscle recovery during their sport. It can be the deciding factor on the result of a game. Our meditations and yoga based training certainly assist with this but have you looked into working on your energy with the ancient Japanese healing and relaxation technique, Reiki?

 

Nowadays it's being more understood that everything around us is energy vibrating at different frequencies - everything has an energy. Ki, qi, prana or chi are words for energy in Asia. All matter is made with energy, plants, rocks, everything is vibrating at different rates.

Reiki has been demonstrated in an exagerated and entertaining way when Mr Miyagi heals Dan in the Karate Kid and also the use of energy in the hands of Daniel Rand in the Marvel Iron Fist comics!
