Reiki is often described as calming or soothing (and it is) โจbut whatโs actually happening goes deeper than that.
During a Reiki session, your nervous system is gently guided out of fight-or-flight and into a parasympathetic state.
โจThatโs where rest, repair, digestion, and recovery happen.
This is why people often:โจโข sigh deeplyโจโข feel heavy or floatyโจโข fall asleepโจโข or suddenly realise how tense they were before
You donโt need to believe in Reiki for it to work.
โจYour nervous system already knows how to respond to safety and gentle, intentional touch.
Reiki isnโt about fixing you.โจItโs about reminding your body how to settle.
