🌿 The Healing Power of Reiki: What It Is & How It Works
In today’s fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and emotional burnout have become almost the norm. Many are turning to holistic therapies like Reiki to restore balance, promote healing, and reconnect with inner peace. But what exactly is Reiki—and how does it work?
✨ What Is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese energy healing technique developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” combines two Japanese words: Rei (universal) and Ki (life energy). Together, Reiki refers to the universal life force energy that flows through all living things.
During a Reiki session, a trained practitioner channels this energy through their hands, gently placing or hovering them over the body. The goal is to remove energy blockages, restore balance, and encourage the body's natural healing processes.
🌸 How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki works on the principle that when our life force energy is low or out of balance, we’re more likely to feel stressed or get sick. When that energy is flowing freely, we feel healthier, more grounded, and emotionally stable.
While it’s not a replacement for medical care, Reiki supports healing by:
Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and digest” state)
Promoting deep relaxation
Helping clear emotional or energetic blocks
Enhancing mental clarity and emotional resilience
Clients often report sensations of warmth, tingling, or waves of peace during a session—even if the practitioner's hands don’t physically touch them. The effects can be subtle but powerful.
