What is Reiki?

 

Reiki is a form of energy healing. It works with the energy fields around the body

and involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to the

client.

 

The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,”

meaning life energy

Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can 

enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.

According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been

physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause

illness.

Health benefits

One of the main benefits of Reiki  is reducing stress, Reiki gives your body a break

from the stresses of daily life, helping your body return to a state of relaxation. Once

in this state, your body is able to heal any damage brought on by stress, injury, or

disease: By helping a person experience deep relaxation, Reiki enhances and

accelerates our own natural healing process, because the body can stop being

stressed and focus on healing itself.

When you experience stress, your sympathetic nervous system reacts, increasing

heart rate and blood pressure and the fight-or-flight response that gets the body

ready to deal with potential dangers. So when your body is constantly under stress,

this response can shift into overdrive, which can lead to problems like a greater risk

of heart disease, research has found.

Conditions that people have used Reiki to help treat include:

It is important to note that Reiki should never take the place of medical treatments.

However, people living with certain health conditions may be interested in trying

Reiki alongside their regular treatment. For instance, some people with cancer may

find Reiki beneficial as it may help them relax. The gentle nature of Reiki therapy

may have a soothing effect on patients who find that they become overwhelmed

with invasive therapy, fear, and stress.

During a Reiki treatment hands are placed (or just above) in certain places along the

body – over the Chakra’s. The use of crystals can also be used in a Reiki session or

the corresponding crystal colour placed on the Chakra itself.

Literally speaking, the word “chakra” from Sanskrit translates to “wheel” or “disk,” but

references to a spiritual energy centre within the human body, of which there are

seven along the spine, and through the neck and the crown of your head. ,

Each physical body part has a corresponding astral body part. The astral body cannot

be seen or touched. This is also a reason why we cannot see the chakras.
