Reiki And Its Benefits

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word which means Universal life force energy; Rei - meaning life force or universal and Ki-meaning energy. Reiki is considered to be a complementary therapy that goes hand-in-hand with Western medicine. It is a safe, holistic and non-invasive approach to wellness. It is a practice used in many hospitals, clinics and wellness centers. Reiki is recognized by the Cleveland Clinic.

What Happens In a Reiki Session?

Each Reiki session is done in a calm, serene, private setting. Soft music, low lighting and aroma therapy enhances the session. Clients will be fully clothed, and asked to lie down on a comfortable massage table. During a typical session, the Reiki practitioner's hands are placed on or hover over, a specific area of the body. These areas correspond to the 7 Major Chakras. The Reiki practitioner allows the Reiki energy to channel out through their hands and onto the client. There is no physical manipulation during a Reiki session. Hand placement is usually 3 to 5 minutes per area or longer depending on the client's concerns. After each session the effects of the Reiki will continue 3-4 days.

What are the Benefits of Reiki?

After each Reiki session, energy in the body circulates and opens up the Chakras (energy centers). Balancing of these centers begin. It helps to accelerate healing of the mind, body and spirit. Blocked and suppressed areas will become unblocked. There are many wellness benefits to receiving Reiki. Reiki is known to stimulate the immune system, accelerate healing, increase overall energy, help one to enjoy total relaxation, relieve various forms of chronic pain, and help with emotional stress and anxiety of daily life. Reiki can also help to ease side effects from cancer treatments as well. Women who are pregnant can receive Reiki. It helps with both the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy. Reiki is not used to diagnose.
