Atlanta Institute for Reiki & Energy Medicine, Atlanta

The practitioners at Atlanta Institute for Reiki & Energy Medicine specialize in reiki—a gentle form of Japanese touch therapy that calls upon the universe, or "rei," and its life-force energy, or "ki," to heal and balance bodies. This coed team of attuned individuals calibrates corporeal and mental states through a tranquil laying-on of hands and also share its powers through instruction for aspiring reiki masters and alternative-medicine enthusiasts.

To further enhance their clients' bodily well-being, all the Institute's resident therapists are also licensed to practice massage and are trained in an arsenal of modalities such as Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massage, which re-creates the relaxation our ancestors felt in earth's infancy from gentle, soothing asteroid showers.
