Reiki therapy is a holistic healing modality that originated in Japan. It is based on the belief that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all living beings, and when this energy is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments. Reiki aims to restore the balance and flow of this energy, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. The word "Reiki" is a combination of two Japanese words: "Rei," which means universal or spiritual, and "Ki," which means life force energy. The practice of Reiki involves the practitioner acting as a channel for this healing energy, allowing it to flow through their hands and into the recipient's body. During a Reiki session, the client typically lies fully clothed on a treatment table, while the practitioner places their hands gently on or near specific areas of the body, such as the head, shoulders, chest, abdomen, or limbs. The practitioner then acts as a conduit for the Reiki energy, allowing it to flow into the client's body, promoting relaxation and facilitating the body's natural healing processes. Reiki is a non-invasive technique, and the recipient may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during the session. Many people find Reiki soothing and calming, and it is often used as a complementary therapy to support overall health and well-being. It can be used to alleviate stress, promote relaxation, reduce pain, accelerate healing, and support emotional and spiritual growth.
