Reiki is a Japanese spiritual healing technique. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese words Rei, meaning “universal life” or “higher power,” and Ki, meaning “energy.” Based on the principle of qi/chi (life-force energy), it is not massage and is not based in religion, nor on belief or suggestion, but is rather a proven form of energy work using spiritually guided healing energy.
How Reiki helps
Reiki practitioners understand that a true state of health is when the life-force energy in a person’s body flows freely, and Reiki can help to untangle the weak or blocked energy that often occurs alongside symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance. A Reiki session is deeply restorative, relaxing and invigorating, and promotes healing on all levels: mental, physical, emotional and energetic.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that anyone can use, and it works alongside any other medical or therapeutic technique. It is administered by a trained practitioner gently laying their hands slightly above, or sometimes on, various areas of the body to transmit spiritual healing energy. Unlike massage, a client is always fully clothed, though they might feel a pleasant warming sensation or a tingling during the session as the energy is transmitted to the body.
