What is Reiki?

​

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that focuses on channeling universal life energy to promote balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. It has been developed in by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei," which means universal or divine, and "Ki," which means life force energy. It is based on the principle that this life force energy flows through all living things and is essential for maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual harmony. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method suitable for adults, children, and even animals. It releases energetic blocks in the mental, spiritual, and physical bodies.

 

How Reiki Works

​

During a Reiki session, the trained practitioner act as channel for this healing energy. Clients remain fully clothed and can either sit or lie down comfortably. The practitioner gently places their hands on or near specific areas of the body, allowing the Reiki energy to flow. This energy encourages deep relaxation and stress reduction, promoting the body's natural ability to heal itself. You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands. Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all. Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during the process.

 

Benefits of Reiki

 

1. Stress Relief

Reiki induces a state of deep relaxation, helping to alleviate stress, anxiety, and tension. It soothes the mind and promotes a sense of calm and tranquillity.

 

2. Pain Management

Reiki energy can help reduce physical discomfort by addressing energy imbalances that may contribute to pain. Many individuals experience relief from chronic pain conditions.

Now, Reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Reiki works in harmony with all other forms of healing, including prescribed drugs, surgery, psychological care or any other method of alternative care and can help improve the results.

 

3. Enhanced Well-Being

Regular Reiki sessions can lead to improved overall well-being. Clients often report increased energy levels, better sleep, and a greater sense of emotional balance.

 

4. Emotional Healing

Reiki is known to release blocked or suppressed emotions, allowing for emotional healing and personal growth. It can help you process and release past traumas.

 

5. Spiritual Growth

Reiki is not tied to any specific religious or spiritual belief, but it can support your spiritual journey by fostering a deeper connection with yourself and your inner wisdom.

 

How many treatments are needed?

​

This depends on what you are hoping for from Reiki.  As a natural healing method, it’s best to allow some time for Reiki to have an effect, so a series of treatments may be more beneficial than a single treatment in most cases. Reiki works best when received on a regular basis. The healing goes deeper and deeper as you receive it more regularly.

 

Can Reiki replace traditional treatments?

​

No. Reiki treatment should not be used as a substitute for the consultation of a physician or a psychotherapist. If you’re already in good health, though, regular Reiki treatments can enhance your ability to respond to stress and serve as a form of preventive medicine.
