Reiki

The word Reiki is derived from the Japanese words “rei,” which means “universal”, “God’s wisdom,” or “the higher power, and “ki,” which means “spiritually guided life force energy” and thus revolves around the transfer of this universal energy to the patient through palms of the practitioner who acts as a channel for the healing energy.

As keeping the flow of energy moving throughout the body, Reiki can be most helpful in stimulating this flow and in turn stimulating circulation and healing.

It is effective in removing the energy blocks from stagnated energy that can result from illness, physical injury, or holding on to emotional pain and trauma.

This complimentary form of energy healing involves clearing the aura of blockages and negative energy to improve one’s overall well-being. The “biofield”, which is an electromagnetic field that surrounds the body is manipulated in such a way as to free it of blockages when sensed by the practitioner.

Reiki is used to treat chronic pain, Crohn’s disease, heart disease, cancer, infertility, neurodegenerative disorders, and autism.

Practitioners use reiki to help lessen fatigue, and feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress and promote a sense of deep relaxation.

Some Reiki practitioners offer distance healing sessions, where the healing benefits are sent over several miles, ‘smoothing and raking’ the aura from afar through thoughts and intentions.

The goal of Reiki therapy is to improve the life force energy field by removing disruptions in the flow of energy which can lead to ill-health and pain. By guiding energy throughout the body, the Reiki practitioner promotes one’s self-healing abilities. As Reiki is known as a more spiritual practice, than other healing modalities, the practitioners should take care to become grounded, and centered in the light before beginning a healing session and both patient and practitioner should maintain that heightened sense of spiritual intentions throughout the sessions for best results.
