I'm really looking for a good way to relax.

First, whatever you do, don't do any acupuncture at this time as it could invoke labour as it stimultes energy points if the person doesn't know precisely what they're doing ( & in this business, many claim to but don't). Reiki will def help but make sure you find a reputable practiotiner. Also, spiritual healing would help. I find it so relaxing it sometimes makes me sleep! The National Federation of Spiritual Healers have centres around the country & don't charge anything except for donations as they have to pay towards the cost of hiring a place to hold the venues. This is their site (to find one nearest to you): thehealingtrust.org.uk/ index.php?option= com_content &view= article &id= 194 &Itemid= 195

Sit back on a couch (something comfy) and put nice sleepy music on and just close your eyes and drift off Sometimes this will work

No. Reiki is a misplaced belief that includes all manner of mumbo jumbo such as moving mysterious energy in and out of your body while a slightly misplaced individual waves their hands over you. More importantly, you're paying money for absolutely nothing in return! At the very least you can get a professional massage for the same money, then the masseur is actually doing something and the massage may well relax you. Aromatherapy is the same thing, but it just smells nice at the same time. There are many different ways to relax and all of them are free. Try a bit of meditating, there are plenty of websites telling you how to do it.

Have never heard of people using reiki for this. But if you're looking for an 'alternative' treatment that can help then have an acupuncture treatment. It is very good at helping for stress. Also quite a few woman will use it to help with morning sickness if you're having any of that too.
