What is Reiki?
Reiki can be defined as a universal life force energy. It is a form of energy and a holistic healing system that influences the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.
Reiki as a word can be divided into two parts: Rei, which means spirit, soul, wisdom, divine, or sacred, and Ki, which refers to life-force energy or universal energy.
Reiki, as an energy, functions at a higher and quicker vibration than the universal life force energy found in the physical body and aura. It can flow through all areas of the human energy field to dissolve energetic blockages and encourage healing. This energy's source can be referred to as God, Source, All That Is, the Universe, your Soul, your Spirit, or your Higher Self.
Reiki is a healing practice that can benefit anyone in their life, potentially providing comfort and assistance to those dealing with various conditions. It is important to understand that Reiki is not a cure for these conditions, nor is it a religion or belief system. It is a natural healing method that supports and complements other treatments, including medical and complementary therapies.
How does a treatment work?
The typical method for receiving a Reiki treatment is through an attuned Reiki practitioner. During the session, the recipient stays fully clothed and either lies on a massage table or sits in a chair. The practitioner softly places their hands on or near the body without applying pressure, massage, or manipulation. The treatment addresses the entire person, not just specific symptoms. Reiki is holistic as it influences the mind, body, and spirit as a whole.
What are the effects and benefits of a Reiki treatment?
When receiving a Reiki treatment you may experience:
Warmth or tingling where the practitioner's hands were placed
A calm and relaxed feeling
"Seeing" beautiful colors, dreams, visions, memories
A wonderful feeling of radiance and peace
Heightened emotions - tears and laughter are not uncommon
Body shakes or arm or leg jerks
Blurry vision
No sensation at all
During a Reiki session, most individuals experience profound relaxation, which helps release stress, restoring balance and a sense of well-being. The recipient of Reiki receives precisely what they need at that moment. It operates on four levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Let's take a look at each of those.
Physical
Reiki enhances your body's inherent capacity to heal, often alleviating pain and other symptoms. It assists in the elimination of toxins from the body. By harmonizing your entire energy field, it fosters a sense of completeness. Reiki contributes to an overall sense of well-being and helps you become more attuned to your body's requirements, such as nutrition and exercise.
Emotional
Reiki enables you to transform emotional energy into creative expression. It supports the release of negative emotions such as resentment, anger, and fear, while fostering attributes of love, care, sharing, and goodwill.
Mental
Reiki can alleviate stress and tension, guiding you into a profound state of relaxation. It helps you release negative thoughts and attitudes, replacing them with positivity, peace, and serenity. Additionally, it can boost our intuitive skills and promotes greater self-awareness.
Spiritual
Reiki encourages you to embrace and cherish your entire being, while also enabling you to recognize everyone as both a beautiful soul and a beautiful human. It fosters qualities such as love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance.
