‘So, what actually is Reiki?’, you ask.
Well, its really not that easy to explain. I could tell you, that reiki is an old Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which the "universal energy" (rei-ki) is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the client, in order to encourage emotional and/or physical healing.
Sounds a bit out-there, right? That’s maybe what I would have thought, but I didn’t think or read anything before I tried reiki for the first time. It was a Christmas gift which I accepted with an open mind and to my surprise, I was amazed, and a little confused and very intrigued by my experience.
I found myself returning for reiki many times and as a student of psychology, I wanted to understand it and know what it was and how it was able to bring about all sorts of different feelings and emotions. My reiki experiences were pleasant and very relaxing but sometimes also a bit hard as they moved things inside me.
I had to ask my reiki practitioner many times over the months if he could explain it to me and teach me. I saw the benefits of reiki being incorporated into my counselling sessions to promote much faster growth and healing.
Eventually he did and well, there was no turning back. That was ten years ago and since then many things in my life bloomed and also broke and had to be undone and moulded together in differing orders.
Reiki is always there to help with stress and with pain and very importantly it seems to help me to see more clearly and find the truth, so that I can do the work of acceptance and of taking action and taking responsibility in order to grow.
That’s a mouth full, right?
Thing is, I still don’t really understand it fully but I definitely feel it. In my hands and in my head and in my heart. And I see clearly the positive effect on all of my clients.
Reiki has the ability to heal wounds and to move ‘sh*t’ within you if you want to heal and to change. I channel good vibes from all around us so you can absorb this light and this love and heal yourself.
Like I said, it’s hard to understand. You need to ‘feel’ it. You just need to try it.
