In today’s fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and physical ailments are common struggles. Many people seek holistic healing methods to restore balance, and one such practice gaining popularity is Reiki healing. But what exactly is Reiki, and how does it work? Let’s explore this ancient yet powerful energy healing technique.
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese form of energy healing that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports emotional and physical well-being. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words:
Rei – meaning "universal" or "spiritual wisdom"
Ki – meaning "life force energy" (similar to chi in Chinese medicine or prana in yoga)
Together, Reiki translates to "spiritually guided life force energy."
How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through all living beings. When this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to illness, stress, or emotional imbalance. A Reiki practitioner acts as a channel for universal energy, gently directing it to the recipient to restore balance.
Key Principles of Reiki:
Energy Flow – Reiki works on the body’s energy fields (chakras) to remove blockages.
Non-Invasive – The practitioner lightly places hands on or above the body without pressure.
Holistic Healing – Addresses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
What Happens During a Reiki Session?
A typical Reiki session lasts 45-60 minutes and follows these steps:
Preparation – The recipient lies down fully clothed in a calm setting.
Hand Placements – The practitioner places hands gently on or above specific body areas (head, shoulders, stomach, etc.).
Energy Transfer – Warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation is often felt as energy flows.
Closing – The session ends with grounding and reflection.
Many people report feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, or emotionally released after a session.
