In today’s society, many of us grow up thinking the only way to treat disease and illness is through invasive procedures such as pills, drugs, or surgery, but did you know that Reiki provides a form of healing that can achieve great results as well? Like other alternative forms of healing, such as crystals or chakra alignment, Reiki modifies a patient’s subtle energetic body to achieve an improved quality of life. But how exactly does Reiki work? Below I have laid out some of the basics.
What is Reiki?
Japanese for “spiritually guided life force energy,” Reiki is an Eastern healing technique in which the Reiki practitioner lays their hands on a patient’s body and channels positive, universal life energy into their mind, body, and soul. The practice is simple and effective, immediately bringing waves of healing energies that relax the patient’s nerves and reduce their stress.
How Does Stress Impact Our Lives?
Many people do not realize the extent to which stress can cause disease and illness in our bodies. Too much stress can worsen or lead to weakened immune systems, depression, anxiety, obesity, asthma, diabetes, and even heart disease. At the foundation of much of modern life’s problems is the inability to manage and clear out all the stress that gets stuck in our energetic bodies. Thankfully, Reiki addresses stress directly, allowing the patient to feel the weight of their burdens lift from their chest, back, shoulders, or wherever their stress is stored.
What Does a Reiki Session Feel Like?
Patients receiving Reiki healing often experience sensations of warmth coming directly from a practitioner’s hands or even white light when they close their eyes. Changes to the body can be felt immediately or gradually throughout the hours or days following a session. Ways that Reiki can benefit a patient differ from person to person due to the unique nature of each one's energy, as well as the nature of the practitioner's energy.
Finding the Right Reiki Practitioner
When choosing a Reiki practitioner, it is essential to feel a healing connection with them and trust that your intuition will guide you to the right person. Experienced Reiki practitioners will have received an attunement from a Reiki Master. Attunement involves a transference of Reiki energy from the teacher to the student through the same laying on of hands and Reiki symbols. Before seeing a Reiki practitioner, ask for details about their Reiki attunement.
What is Distance Reiki?
Another aspect of Reiki is that it can be performed in person or even across great distances. When receiving distance Reiki, the practitioner will focus their energy on the patient no matter where they are and begin to send waves of healing energy directly to them. Distance Reiki can be an excellent way to receive a boost of positive energy, even if you cannot physically be present with your practitioner.
Like all alternative forms of healing, be sure to see your doctor first if you have any significant health issues or symptoms. Reiki can help in so many ways, but a Reiki practitioner can never diagnose you with a specific disease. Instead, Reiki works best by addressing the aspects of your energetic body which modern medicine cannot reach.
