Reiki Healing: How it works 💫
What is Reiki?
In Reiki Healing the practitioner uses their hands to deliver the energy from the universal source to the client’s body. Hands are placed on specific areas of the recipient’s body to improve the flow of energy, helping reduce stress, anxiety and bringing back of sense of alignment in one’s overall wellbeing.
This healing technique is believed to have originated in Japan and was developed by Mikao Usi in the early 20th century. It is based on the idea that unseen life force energies flow through our bodies.
The principles and philosophies of Reiki Practice are known as the “Five Spiritual precepts”
1. Just for today, do not worry.
2. Just for today, do not anger
3. Honour your teachers, your parents
4. Give thanks for all living things
5. Earn your living honestly
How Reiki Healing Works
You first need to understand the concept of life force energy (ki). It is a subtle energy that flows through our bodies and brings us to life. It is the unseen internal energy that powers breathing, movement and overall vitality.
Ki is closely connected to chakras which are energy centres that regulate different aspects of our physical and emotional health. In Reiki Healing the aim is to balance and unblock these chakras for a free flow of energy, which focuses on directly cleansing and balancing each chakra to ensure the natural flow of life force energy, essential for overall health.
Reiki Healing is the process of the practitioner channeling and transferring Reiki energy
*Reiki Healing Session: involves the practitioner centering themselves, often through meditation and setting an intention for the healing session. Followed by connecting to ki energy through prayer and after connecting to Ki. the practitioner places their hands lightly or just above your body. They use specific hand positions that correspond to different chakras or areas needing healings
Energy Flow: The practitioner channels the Reiki Energy through their hands into you. As is it happening you will feel the reiki energy flowing as warmth, tingling, or a gentle pulsation. Every person will experience something different.
Intuitive Guidance: Practitioners may move their hands areas where they sense you need more energy.
Closing: The session is concluded with the practitioner gently moving their hands and possibly grounding them by placing their hands on their feet or shoulders.
Integration: Lastly, both you and the practitioner take a moment to integrate the energy through quiet reflection and sharing observations.
