What is Reiki?
Reiki in its simplest definition is lifeforce energy. Universal life force energy is all around us and we experience it through the air we breathe as well. We are energy and we interact with various energies on a day to day basis regardless of our awareness of it. However, some of us are clearer channels for this energy to flow through our body and trigger a healing effect. Reiki Healing, is a japanese healing modality, which involves the laying on of hands. The energy can also be sent from a distance and ofcourse you do not have to have direct contact with the patient's body at all, simply hovering the hands over the body brings amazing healing effects. In this blog, we will be exploring why Reiki is a powerful step in your healing process.
Have you ever imagined yourself having superpowers as a child? Well, you do! You have the power to heal yourself and to promote healing in someone else's body. We are all capable of channeling life force energy to heal, however this modality is simply one of many energy healing techniques. It has unique symbols that amplify and even can be used with a certain intention, these symbols are specific to what you are trying to heal. You have to be attuned to reiki for these to work for you as this is has been the intent put in to these symbols over the centuries. Its founder Mikao Usui passed down the technique through his lineage of students who mastered it and passed to their students and so on. I was trained under his lineage.
Why Consider Reiki To Aid In Your Healing Process?
Now that I have given you a little background, let us look into how Reiki can be a powerful tool in healing. Now, we have so many things going on in our world and life. Some of us need great healing in the emotional body, our physical body and even mentally. Reiki complements healing on all levels. I am not the one healing the person's body, but I become a conduit for reiki (lifeforce) energy to flow through me. I then channel the energy into the client's body and then reiki energy goes to the source of the problem or whereever it is needed. I can always set the intention for it to heal a specific area but in the end Reiki will go where it is needed, it is an energy that can act on its own once the healing energy is transferred. This helps the client a lot because it gives them a extra push towards having the clarity needed to put more work into their healing. Some people may have more layers to peel off than others.
There are very little studies on Reiki, but from what has been gathered it has been said to lower stress levels, anxiety, decrease high blood pressure and relieve pain. This is huge because when you have something so powerful, natural and dynamic preparing your bodymind to experience overall healing, it can be beneficial in helping you keep the positivity needed to boost recovery. You do not need to stop taking your medication to receive reiki healing. It can complement whatever you are doing and I would not recommend you stop taking your medication without consulting with your doctor first. I am not a medical professional but I do provide alternative healing options for those who thinks that the drugs alone will not help. Reiki continues to heal your body even beyond the reiki session.
How Reiki Has Impacted My Clients
In my reiki sessions, my clients have stated that they feel light, some have mentioned feeling warm, one experienced recovering from a month of excruciating back pain, headache relief or sometimes it is lessened, some feel clarity, relaxation, and peace. There was an instant in which a client shared that she was relieved of a lingering backpain she had been struggling with for years. I have had clients who have experienced a stroke with their motor skills significantly affected and they have reported feeling energized and also displaying signs of improvement shortly after, displaying a lot more strength as well as moving around more. There are stories of other medical conditions but I have only decided to mention a few so you can see the power of adding this powerful energy healing modality to your healing journey. The feedback has been amazing and gets even more fascinating each time.
I could deep dive into the amazing world of reiki all day and still nothing would match having an actual experience. Whether, a person had a full on instant healing or not, they could all report the energy impacting them in some way. Reiki energy needs time to work on you and if you have a lot of stagnant energy in your body then you may need multiple sessions. Some people might require more time and you may not feel anything at all but are encouraged to look for subtle changes. Incorporating reiki can be very rewarding.
If something energetic can trigger healing in your body on so many levels as mentioned above then just imagine how powerful it is! Your emotions play a huge role in creating disease in the body. According to John Hopkins Medicine (2024), People who experience anger more frequently and are unsuccessful at managing it are more like to develop heart problems, research from Johns Hopkins and other leading health institutions validates this. The findings of this research confirmed that the possibility of a heart attack was almost five times higher in the two hours after an outburst of anger, and the risk of stroke increased three-fold, found one 2014 study in European Heart Journal. The study showed that the more intense or frequent the blowups, the higher one’s heart risks. Therefore, the benefits of reiki are undeniable. It can help to balance your chakra system and each chakra is associated with different emotions and organs of the body. Pay more attention to your body, take some deep breathes and observe how you feel and react after. It is a great gift to be able to heal yourself.
Learning Reiki to do self treatment is just as beneficial as paying for a session. You have a powerful tool to use for a lifetime. You are always a Reiki Healer after your attunement no matter what happens.
Conclusion
Reiki is a powerful and subtle energy that works wonders in the recovery and healing process. Your healing is always paramount and just as your negative emotions can cause ill health, so can this modality heal the emotional body to bring about real healing and recovery. It is more than a placebo, some people have benefitted without full understanding and even blatant sketpticism so there is something truly amazing to be experienced in a reiki healing session. If you are still in doubt, book a session! Anything that is meant to benefit you is never a waste of money. Your health is your wealth. Heal for you.
