Reiki
Reiki is an ancient form of alternative healing that uses Universal Life Force Energy that flows through an Attuned Reiki practitioner. 

​Reiki is a form of energy healing that is a gentle, non-invasive practice that uses universal energy to promote emotional, physical and mental wellbeing in the recipient. Depending on the type of Reiki session you select, your practitioner may use tuning forks, singing bowls, crystals, aromatherapy, and/or light hands-on touch.

What is Reiki?

​Reiki is a Japanese technique that is used to heal physical and mental trauma, and to support mental clarity and spiritual well-being. In Japanese, the word "rei" refers to a higher intelligence that permeates all living and nonliving entities and guides the inherent functioning of the universe. The word "ki" refers to the nonphysical energy that flows through everything that is alive, including plants, animals, and human beings—because of this, ki is also often called "life force energy," and is known as qi or chi from other lineages. The combination of these two words is what defines reiki as "spiritually guided life-force energy."

How Does Reiki Work?

To administer Reiki, a practitioner channels life force energy through his or her hands unto another. It's said that the aforementioned spiritual guidance enables the Reiki to flow through the affected parts of the subject's energy field and charges them with positive energy. It raises awareness in and around the physical body where negative thoughts and feelings are contained. This causes the negative energy—such as stress, anxiety, physical pain, sadness, confusion, etc.—to loosen its grip, allowing the touch of the Reiki healer to swoop in and clarify the energy pathways.

There are four qualities that define Reiki:
  1. The ability to do Reiki comes from receiving an attunement, rather than developing the ability over time though the use of meditation or other exercises.
  2. All Reiki techniques are part of a lineage. This means that the technique has been passed on from teacher to student through an attunement process starting with the one who first channeled the technique.
  3. Reiki does not require that one guide the energy with their mind, as it is guided by the higher power and knows where to go and how to act all on its own.
  4. Because of this, Reiki can do no harm.

"Reiki therapy encourages the body's natural healing process, and can aid in restoring inner harmony by releasing discomfort caused by emotional, mental and physical conditions."

What are the benefits of Reiki?

​​Health benefits
​According to practitioners, the healing effects are mediated by channeling the universal energy known as qi, pronounced "chi." In India, this is known as "prana." This is the same energy involved in tai chi exercise. It is the life force energy that some believe surrounds all of us.

This energy is said to permeate the body. Reiki experts point out that, while this energy is not measurable by modern scientific techniques, it can be felt by many who tune in to it. Reiki is alleged to aid relaxation, assist in the body's natural healing processes, and develop emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

It is also said to induce deep relaxation, help people cope with difficulties, relieve emotional stress, and improve overall wellbeing.

People who receive Reiki describe it as "intensely relaxing."

Conditions that Reiki has been used to help treat include:
  • cancer
  • heart disease
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • chronic pain
  • infertility
  • neurodegenerative disorders
  • autism
  • Crohn's disease
  • fatigue syndromes
According to the University of Minnesota, patients who have undergone a Reiki session may say:
  • "I feel very refreshed and seem to be thinking more clearly."
  • "I think I fell asleep."
  • "I can't believe how hot your hands got!"
  • "I feel more relaxed than even after a massage."
  • "My headache is gone."
Cancer patients who have Reiki say they feel better after. This may be because​ it helps them relax. Another reason, according to Cancer Research U.K. could be that the therapist spends time with them and touches them. This has a soothing effect on patients who may be overwhelmed by invasive therapy, fear, and stress.

Individuals report different experiences. Some say that the practitioner's hands become hot, others report cooling hands and some people feel pulsating waves. The most common reports are of a release of stress and deep relaxation.
