How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive, yet powerful form of energy healing therapy that supports a balanced flow of vital life force energy in the body. Lower amounts of vital life force energy in the body, for example due to emotional stress, physical illness or injury, can result in dis-ease in the body and disharmony in the mind. Higher amounts of vital life force energy promotes physical health and emotional happiness. Reiki works by deeply relaxing the nervous system, which allows for an enhanced flow of life force energy through the body. Reiki supports your body in re-setting, re-storing and harmonizing itself. Having a Reiki session is always beneficial, whether you are feeling low in energy or already feeling balanced. Reiki adjusts for your unique needs, will never do harm and will always help.
What is Reiki Energy?
There is an unseen life force energy that resides and flows within all living things. It is our vitality, and the base of our mind, body, and spiritual wellness. When this energy is weak, stagnant, or blocked, we can become physically, mentally and/or spiritually ill. When the energy is low, we are more susceptible to experiencing stress and its many related illnesses. When the energy is charged, active and flowing, we are happier, healthier, vibrant and more mindful.
Reiki is a holistic energy treatment which is administered to the body and its energy centers (chakras) via the method of "laying on hands". Reiki treats the whole person, including emotions, body, mind and spirit. It is a simple, yet powerful, beautiful and natural method of healing in which everyone can benefit from. This treatment can work in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to promote recovery, or aid in the relief of side effects.
It is important to note, you are the healer, and the Practitioner is the energy conduit. This life force energy resides in us all, therefore it knows where it is most needed. Think of the Practitioner as a faucet, which transfers the energy that stimulates the body's natural healing abilities.
