Introduction
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an energy healing technique that can be used on oneself or another person. In Japanese, Reiki means “Universal Life Force Energy” and it is a gentle and non-invasive practice that is safe for everyone, even small children and pets. The word comes from two Japanese words – Rei meaning higher power/all-knowing or universal consciousness and Ki which means life force energy. If you have ever had a massage, you may have experienced the energy healing powers of Reiki without even realizing it was being applied because in this practice light touch or no touch are used to rebalance the body’s natural flow of energy.
What is Reiki?
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic healing technique that uses universal life force energy to balance, heal, and energize the body. It works with the energy fields of the body and energy centers of the body. This can help create an environment for healing to occur on a physical, mental/emotional, spiritual level. There are no side effects to Reiki; it is safe for all ages and can be used by pregnant women or people who have undergone surgery in the past.
Reiki sessions may last from 30 minutes up to 1 hour depending on what you feel you need at that time. During a session I will place my hands just above your body while allowing myself to be guided by my intuition and experience as well as any information coming through me from your guides or angels so they may work alongside me during our session together.
"Rei" means universal life force energy.
As a Reiki practitioner, you are able to channel this energy through your hands to the body of another person. Practitioners believe that life force energy can be used to heal on all levels—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
"Ki," aka chi or prana, means energy, breath or life force.
Ki, aka chi or prana, means energy, breath or life force. It’s the circulating energy that flows through all living things. Ki is a universal life force energy and can be used to balance and heal the body, mind and spirit.
When the flow of Ki is blocked in an area of your body—which can happen due to injury or stress—it becomes stagnant, causing pain or illness to occur there. Reiki practitioners use their hands to channel this healing power into areas where there has been trauma or injury so that they may be repaired naturally by the body’s own innate ability for self-healing.
Ki is a circulating life energy that is found in everything.
Ki is the life force that powers your body and everything else in the universe. It's what makes us all go round, it's what makes everything tick, and it's what keeps us breathing.
Ki is also the energy you can use to heal yourself and others with Reiki - but for now, let’s just think of Ki as this bright-white light that flows through our bodies from head to toe (and out again). It powers every cell in our bodies, helping them grow and repair themselves when they get old or damaged by illness or injury. The meridians are pathways for Ki to flow along - they carry energy between different parts of your body so they work together smoothly without getting stuck where they shouldn't be!
With this deep relaxation and open state of mind, it becomes easier for you to receive the flow of Universal Life Force Energy through the practitioner’s hands.
Reiki is a Japanese practice that uses the power of “Life Force Energy” to help heal the body, mind and spirit. Reiki works on an energetic level to bring about physical, mental and spiritual balance. This can be done through a variety of techniques including laying-on-of-hands or distance healing.
The practitioner will be able to help you relax and open your mind so that they can direct Universal Life Force Energy through their hands into your body where it is needed most. The practitioner will also be able to assist you in receiving this flow of Universal Life Force Energy through their hands by assisting you in opening your heart chakra (heart center).
The Reiki practitioner may also use crystals to assist the recipient with balance and healing.
Reiki practitioners may also use crystals to assist the recipient with balance and healing. Reiki can be done without the presence of crystals, but using crystals is a great way for practitioners to enhance their sessions and help their clients receive more benefit from Reiki. The crystal will help to balance the energy of both practitioner and recipient as well as any space in which it is placed. The crystal’s vibration will resonate with that of others who are present, creating harmony among all who are present in your home or office space.
As this holistic practice centers around energy, it can be helpful to know some basics about how energy flows through your body and into the world around you.
As this holistic practice centers around energy, it can be helpful to know some basics about how energy flows through your body and into the world around you. The body is made up of energy, and as such, it is a physical manifestation of the mind, spirit and soul. The body will reflect what is going on in these areas. When your mind is agitated or stressed out, you might notice that stress manifesting itself physically in the form of headaches or tight muscles. If you are having trouble sleeping due to worries about work or relationships with others (which are all part of the mind), then it makes sense for us to start by focusing on relaxing those areas first before moving on to healing them later on down the road when they become more receptive again after being calmed down by our treatments over time.
Conclusion
The science behind the practice of Reiki is still being studied, but one thing is for sure: its positive effects are undeniable. The gentle touch of the practitioner creates a deep sense of relaxation that can last long after the session is over. What’s more, this holistic healing modality also helps to increase your self-awareness and promote a better understanding of yourself and your place in the world. If you’re looking for something different from traditional medicine or want to complement your current treatment regimen with something new, give Reiki a try today! We hope this information will help you make more informed decisions on how best to care for yourself in our fast-paced 21st century world.
