Reiki is an energy healing treatment that works holistically on the whole body, mind and spirit. Not a system of religious beliefs, Reiki is a relaxing treatment where natural healing vibrations are transmitted from the Reiki practitioner to the recipient. The purpose of Reiki is to: relieve stress and pain, induce relaxation, release emotional blockages and accelerate natural healing. Yes, absolutely. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping illness and disorder and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. A Reiki treatment is non-diagnostic, non-interventionist, non-manipulative and no pressure is applied. A session is usually carried out with the recipient lying down or sitting, in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki energy passes easily through all materials, including plaster casts. The Practitioner places their hands gently on or over the body; there is no massage or manipulation. . Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. Length of Reiki sessions may vary, but are usually half to one hour in duration. Can Reiki be sent to others at a distance? How does this work? Yes, in Reiki II, you are given three Reiki symbols. These symbols are empowered by the Reiki II attunement. One of these symbols is for distant healing. By using a picture of the person you would like to send Reiki to or by writing the person’s name on a piece of paper or simply by thinking of the person and also activating the distant symbol, you can send Reiki to them no matter where they are.
