Understanding Reiki and how it works.

Reiki (“RAY-kee”) is a Japanese word meaning “spiritually guided life force energy.” Reiki is a relaxing, powerful healing technique that was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui. Dr. Usui developed these powerful Japanese healing techniques in the late 1800’s. Reiki was originally intended for spiritual development. However, Reiki is being used today for hands-on treatments as well as from a distance or remotely to rebalance energy which in turn assists the healing process in all living things. Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through every living things It is what ensures us to be alive, breathing, healthy and vibrant.

It is believed that when a person’s life force energy is low or blocked, their body is running on a lower vibration and they are more likely to experience pain or become ill. If it is running on a higher vibration and flowing smoothly through the body then the person is more resilient to pain, illness and disease. To most people this is known as living a “positive” or “negative” life. Reiki therapy helps balance the energy system of the body, by increasing the vibrational frequency. It is believed that when the life force energy (aka: chi) within the body is balanced it leads to increased relaxation, improved health and an overall feeling of well-being and happiness.

Reiki is the perfect addition to your health routine to restore that perfect energetic balance in your body from the inside out.

During a Reiki treatment, the practitioner places their hands on or above the recipient’s body usually starting at the head, holding the position until the energy starts to flow, the hand positions move over the body until all areas are complete. Reiki will always flow to the areas where it is needed most in the recipient be it physical, mental or spiritual. Most people feel an immediate sense of relaxation, peace and relief from pain, some feel the effects a few hours or days later. Many people have said that they experience a tingling sensation, a rippling effect, sudden warmth or coolness during a Reiki session. Each person has a different experience with Reiki and always a positive healing outcome.

Reiki brings about a very deep state of relaxation, helps remove emotional and physical energy blockages, detoxifies the body systems and renews vitality in the form of healing energy.

Reiki can be used alone or in conjunction with many forms of medical or therapeutic treatments, as a matter of fact it has been gaining so much popularity due to it’s effectiveness many veterinarian, medical and cancer treatment centers are now offering Reiki sessions to their patients.
