The power of healing is considered to be something quite beautiful, and that is what the ancient practice of Reiki is all about the flow of energy and balance.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) was developed as a healing system to promote the overall health and wellness of people physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The therapy can also be used on pets to help them connect better with human beings and to find inner calmness.
A Healing Art With Hands
When Reiki is performed, the technique transfers universal energy flow to the client via the palming of the hands by a skilled practitioner. The ancient healing system is achieved by either the placement of their hands on or just above the body in sequences of positions.
You will prepare for a session by wearing comfortable clothing and laying down on a Reiki table on your back and with your shoes removed. It's a time of quiet contemplation. Your practitioner will scan your head and body looking for areas of blocked energy and then, begin the sequences of gentle hand positions.
No clothing ever comes off, and there is no massage or physical manipulation of the body.
Energy Healing On All Levels
Every individual is unique, and therefore, each client will undergo a personal experience when receiving Reiki healing services. Some people feel pins and needles type of tingling while others mention the sensation of heat, warmth, or cold. There are Reiki clients who don't feel much throughout the body during a session, and there are those who yawn and get sleepy as the incoming energies create a soothing, peaceful feeling.
You don't have to physically feel Reiki for it to be doing its job because it is quite effective in the healing it brings. Just relax and allow the Reiki technique to do its work by making yourself accessible as a vessel through which the balancing energies can pass through.
Many Reasons For Choosing Reiki
Maybe you're curious about the practice of Reiki that originated in Japan and want to see what this alternative treatment can do for you. You are certainly not alone because both adults and children have undergone Reiki sessions for a number of reasons. A 2008 survey conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found the energy-healing therapy to be quite popular in the United States alone with some 1.2 million adults and 161,000 children taking part in Reiki sessions, and the numbers have increased yearly.
Reiki is not a replacement for medical treatment, but its therapies can offer benefits for one's health and wellness and work in conjunction with traditional medical techniques to facilitate self-healing in an individual.
Some reasons to consider Reiki include getting relief from physical chronic pain, releasing anxiety, insomnia, or stress, helping to change bad habits and lifestyle, learning to have greater self-esteem, adding an alternative therapy to conventional medical treatment, getting ready for change, building up empowerment in any area of life you desire, managing menopause, and the list goes on.
Reiki helps to support you on the journey of life while becoming your inner bridge to healing and peace.
Understanding The Power Of Energy
The Reiki philosophy believes that human beings do not function at their best with weakened or blocked energy. When energy is high and balanced, a person will feel more at peace, happy, and in tune with their physical, emotional, and spiritual self. Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things.
Every person can connect with their own healing energy and use it to give strength to themselves and others. A Reiki practitioner helps to open up these channels for you to receive strong, free-flowing energy. The sessions are pleasant and can last anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half.
Conclusion
Reiki is a natural healing therapy that has stood the test of time. The technique gives your body a break from the stresses of daily life and teaches you how to relax and focus on healing yourself. The ancient art is performed in many hospitals and medical clinics located around the world. A single session is powerful on every level.
