What is reiki?
Reiki is a universal energy, when we talk about reiki we are usually talking about the practice of energy healing by a reiki practitioner.
The word "reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "rei" meaning universal, and "ki" meaning life energy. The practice involves channeling reiki energy from the practitioner's hands to the recipient's body to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall wellbeing.
In a traditional reiki treatment, the recipient may sit or lie down while the practicitioner works either intuitively or along specific energy centres on the body.
What are the benefits of reiki?
Reiki is a gentle healing modality that compliments other therapies without interfering with them. It's suitable for everyone, regardless of age, gender or religion. Like yoga it is a spiritual practice but not a religious one.
It can promote a deep state of relaxation and has proven to be particularly beneficial for:
● Balancing emotions
● Reducing stress and anxiety
● Promoting deep rest and relaxation
● Improving sleep and reducing insomnia
● Managing chronic pain
Energetically it can help:
● Balance energy centers
● Release trapped energy and emotions
● Promote healing
● Feel more connected to intuition
● Deepned spiritual connection
Whatever your reasons for seeking reiki, it can be a wonderful, gentle healing energy to experience.
