Reiki Healing
Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” is derived from two Japanese words: “rei,” which means universal, and “ki,” which means life energy or vital force. Reiki is based on the belief that there is a life energy that flows through all living things, and when this energy is low or blocked, it can result in physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalances or illness.
Reiki practitioners use their hands to channel this universal life energy into a person’s body, with the intention of promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and facilitating healing. The practitioner places their hands on or just above the recipient’s body, allowing the energy to flow through them and into the recipient. It is believed that this energy helps to rebalance and harmonize the recipient’s energy, promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Rebalance and harmonize
Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments, but it is important to note that it is not considered a substitute for medical care. It is generally considered safe and non-invasive, and many people find it to be a relaxing and soothing experience. The scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of Reiki is limited, but it exists, and its mechanisms of action are not well understood from a scientific perspective, but it’s important to note that the scientific community has accepted it is a valid way to aid healing.
It’s worth mentioning that Reiki has evolved and various forms and styles of Reiki exist today, including Usui Reiki, Karuna Reiki, and Tibetan Reiki, among others. Each style may have its own unique approach and techniques, but they all share the basic principles of channeling and working with life energy for healing purposes.
In my case I am an Usui practitioner, his daughter taught my teacher so my lineage is very direct. I can also use reiki as a form of remote healing or space cleaning.
