What is Reiki
Reiki is a powerful force in our lives, and is often referred to as ‘The miraculous cure for all diseases’, or ‘An elixir for the soul’.
It is a gentle, non-invasive practice that works on the principle of energy transfer. It is based on the idea that energy flows through all living beings, and when this energy is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual issues. During a Reiki session, I channel this life energy to help restore balance, promote relaxation, and facilitate healing. It is a truly wonderful way of connecting with our natural life force energy, allowing it to flow freely through our bodies, bringing whatever healing is needed at any particular moment. It can therefore help restore balance and harmony in the body, reducing stress and anxiety and increasing general wellness and vitality. It can be deeply relaxing and calming, bringing a sense of spiritual comfort and connection.
I am always in awe of its magical ability to release and transform from the inside out.
Reiki is a fascinating practice that originates from Japan and is often described as a form of energy healing. Here’s a bit more about it:
Definition: Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It involves the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or near the recipient’s body to facilitate the flow of energy.
Principles: The practice is based on the idea that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all living things. When this energy is low, we may feel stressed or unwell; when it is high, we are more likely to be healthy and happy.
Benefits: While scientific evidence is limited, many people report various benefits from Reiki, including:
- Better sleep
- Reduced anxiety
- Boosted mood
- Reduced pain
- Increased energy
- Improved blood circulation
Usage: Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy, especially in palliative care settings, to help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients.
Practice: Sessions typically involve a practitioner guiding the recipient into a relaxed state, often through gentle touch or by hovering their hands above the body.
