Reiki

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The term “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: “Rei,” meaning “universal,” and “Ki,” meaning “life energy” (similar to “Chi” in Chinese or “Prana” in Sanskrit). It is based on the belief that a universal energy flows through all living things and can be harnessed to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

How Reiki Works

Reiki practitioners use a technique known as “hands-on healing” or “energy healing” to channel energy into the recipient’s body. The practice aims to balance and align the body’s energy systems to promote self-healing and relaxation. During a Reiki session:

1. The recipient typically lies down fully clothed.

2. The practitioner lightly places their hands on or just above the body.

3. The practitioner channels energy to the recipient, focusing on specific areas or allowing the energy to flow intuitively where it’s needed.

Benefits of Reiki

Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment but is often used as a complementary therapy. Reported benefits include:

• Stress reduction and relaxation

• Enhanced emotional balance

• Relief from pain or tension

• Improved sleep

• Support for healing after surgery or illness

• Boosted overall sense of well-being

What to Expect in a Session

Reiki sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. Most people describe the experience as deeply calming, with some feeling warmth, tingling, or light pressure from the energy flow. Others might experience emotional release or clarity during or after the session.

The Origins of Reiki

Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. Usui combined elements of meditation, spirituality, and energy healing practices into the system we know today. Reiki has since spread worldwide, with various forms such as Usui Reiki, Karuna Reiki, and Holy Fire Reiki.

Is Reiki for Everyone?

Yes, Reiki is considered safe for all ages and conditions, as it is non-invasive and gentle. It is increasingly used in hospitals and wellness centers alongside conventional treatments.
