Reiki stands for “Universal Life Force Energy”.
It heals the body on the physical, mental and spiritual levels. In order to channel the Reiki energy through to you in a session, your Reiki Practitioner must have received an attunement by a Reiki Master. This allows the energy that surrounds us, to move into you and then out through your hands when you touch someone with the intention to assist their healing process.
During a session you body’s healing ability is accelerated thus creating the potential for you to experience balanced wellness. Reiki energy is channeled from the universe and the elements. It is often described as warming, soothing, penetrating and a powerful force for healing.
Specifically it can be used for opening and balancing your chakras thus allowing healing energy to flow through what might otherwise be a restricted or blocked pattern. When the body is balanced and in harmony disease is eliminated and the body can maintain and heal itself as required.
During a Reiki Session, key points are lightly touched over the body and the client relaxes fully clothed on the table. You will often drift off into a healing trance. The body has innate knowledge of what it needs to heal itself and will direct the healing energy to go where it is needed.
Reiki is a system of alternative medicine, which uses a hands-on-healing technique where practitioners place the palms 5-10cm from the body during the treatment. Reiki is a type of energy healing, as it is believed that during the healing practitioners transfer Reiki energy through the palms of their hands to the clients, which is thought to stimulate the healing.
Reiki can help not only physical, but also mental, emotional and spiritual conditions. Besides being a system of alternative medicine, it is also regarded as a spiritual practice which is meant to help one reach enlightenment through assisting in healing one’s body, mind and soul of negative energy.
Reiki is primarily perceived as a practice for Healing the body, but it is also a method for healing the mind and spirit. Ultimately, reiki has the power to reunite the trinity of Mind – Body – Spirit in their optimal state of Harmony. All of us need to start the process of returning to that state of Harmony.
