Reiki: An Energetic Healing Art Offered in My Practice

Feb 22

Reiki is an energetic healing art with Japanese origin (Rei meaning “universal life” and ki meaning “energy” in Japanese), used to support physical, emotional and spiritual health.

How does Reiki work?

Reiki Practitioners use hand positions over or on top of the body of the client, who is fully clothed and reclining on a massage table or seated in a chair.

According to the International Association of Reiki Professionals website:

Reiki is:

A subtle and effective form of energy healing using spiritually guided life force energy (Rei-ki)
Practiced in every country of the world
Being used in many settings including hospitals, hospice, as well as in private practice and in self-care
A wonderful complementary modality in a personal wellness or healing program

Reiki is not:

Affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice
New. Reiki energy itself is thousands of years old

Defining qualities of Reiki:

A practice of transmitting healing energy through the hands
Passed on through the attunement process
The energy is not guided by the practitioner, but the energy has its own innate wisdom to guide itself.
Reiki energy is not based on belief, faith or suggestion.

A Reiki session may help ease tension and stress and may help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing on all levels- physical, emotional and spiritual. A session is pleasant and relaxing and is most often utilized for one’s own personal wellness.
