REIKI HEALING

What Is Reiki Healing?
 
​The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui, in Japan in the early 20th Century, for stress relief, pain reduction, and enhanced well-being.

The Japanese word Reiki means ‘Universal Life Force Energy’. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to wellbeing. This 'Universal Life Force Energy' is known as ‘ki’ in Japan, ‘qi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India. 
​
It is believed that a person’s “ki” or energy should be strong and free flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance. And this is where Reiki can help.

Bronwen and Frans  Stiene, authors of the The Reiki Sourcebook, described this well with the following analogy -  

“Envision a free flowing river. This beautiful river is like energy flowing easily down through the body. Occasionally, a pebble, or even a rock, will fall into that river, making the flow of the water a little more difficult. These pebbles are human worries, fear, anger, and each pebble builds on top of the other. Soon, there is only a trickle of water running in that once beautiful free-flowing river. And so, it is with energy in the human body. Energy flow can be obstructed so much that at this point physical pain may be experienced”.

Reiki is a non-invasive natural healing therapy that works with the ‘Universal Life Force Energy’ to treat a person holistically and aid health & wellbeing. It is activated by intention and works on every level - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It involves the practitioner placing their hands gently on or over a person’s clothed body. The recipient automatically draws in the energy as needed. Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth or coolness, other sensations or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing and has a profound calming effect. As a natural healing system, Reiki can benefit everyone, from young babies to adults. It's a non-invasive, safe practice that complements traditional medical treatments, offering a holistic approach to wellbeing. Whether a person is seeking relief from specific concerns or striving for a greater sense of peace and vitality, Reiki offers a unique path to achieving harmony and overall health. 

From a scientific perspective:

Reiki is recognized as a biofield therapy, a form of energy healing that interacts with the complex, dynamic field of energy and information that surrounds and permeates the human body. It's grounded in the concept that human beings are not just physical bodies but are also made up of intricate energy fields that influence health and wellbeing. By applying a hands-on or near-body technique, Reiki practitioners aim to balance the biofield to support the body's intrinsic healing mechanisms. While empirical research is ongoing, preliminary studies suggest Reiki can play a supportive role in reducing stress, enhancing relaxation, and potentially improving patient outcomes in integrative health settings. As a complementary approach, Reiki offers a non-invasive, risk-free adjunct to conventional medical treatments, emphasizing holistic wellness and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit from a bioenergetic perspective.
