Reiki is a form of alternative healing that originated in Japan and is based on the idea of channelling universal life energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. The word "Reiki" comes from the Japanese words rei (meaning "universal") and ki (meaning "life energy"). Reiki practitioners believe this energy flows through all living things, and by channelling it, they can help remove blockages and restore balance in the body, promoting relaxation and self-healing.
Key Principles of Reiki
- Universal Energy: Reiki operates on the belief that there is a universal energy that flows through all living things. This energy is thought to sustain life, and imbalances in it can lead to stress, illness, and emotional issues.
- Holistic Healing: Reiki aims to promote balance not only in the body but also in the mind, emotions, and spirit. It is believed to support the body’s natural healing abilities and provide a sense of peace and relaxation.
Non-Invasive Touch: Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive practice. The practitioner may place their hands lightly on or just above the recipient's body, without any manipulation or pressure, making it a relaxing experience.
How Reiki Works
In a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands on or near specific areas of the recipient’s body, such as the head, shoulders, arms, with the intent of transferring healing energy. The energy is believed to flow clearing any blockages, balancing the body’s energy fields, and encouraging relaxation and healing.
The recipient lies fully clothed on a massage table, many people experience a sense of warmth, tingling, or relaxation as the energy flows, though others may simply feel a deep calm or sense of well-being. A Reiki session is safe and comfortable, suitable for most individuals regardless of age or health condition.
