Let`s talk about reiki, what it really is and what you can get out of it as a reiki practitioner.
Reiki is a gentle, natural healing system that has been practiced for thousands of years. It works by sending healing energy to the body through hands placed on certain parts of your body. Reiki practitioners call this process “healing touch” and the time devoted to energy healing – a reiki session.
What is reiki session
A typical reiki session usually led by a qualified reiki practitioner or a reiki master represents 30 minutes to an hour and a half reiki therapy during which you are expected to share some information about your symptoms, areas of focus, sensitive spots or previous injuries. After a short introduction you will lie down on a treatment table fully clothed, covered with a blanked and experience what is called a complementary health therapy, when reiki master will place her hands on or near your body dissolving energy blocks and doing energy healing.
Benefits of reiki
If you ask different people what is reiki – every person has slightly different experience and idea about it. Using Japanese words – reiki is a universal life force energy or a healing energy, that flows through our bodies and by removing energy blocks that reiki energy can improve our quality of life, reduce pain, normalize blood pressure, help to achieve deep relaxation response and even manage symptoms of some serious diseases compared to medical treatments.
Reiki therapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses the energy of love to heal and balance the body. It does not replace or deny medical treatments or medical care, rather serves as a complementary and alternative medicine.
It is not just one more alternative medicine or energy therapy, but it also a method of psychological support, with its own deep relaxation, therapeutic techniques and treatment plan that facilitates the body’s natural healing mechanisms. A positive atmosphere and the use of music during reiki treatment may help to promote a deep relaxation state for the patient, which in turn promotes life energy circulation – a way to a healing.
Effects of reiki could not be overlooked – a single reiki session can improve overall condition, help to relieve stress and physical pain.
Many professional reiki practitioners would also practice distant reiki by conducting reiki sessions for the people who located in another part of the planet by touching their energy field from the comfort of their home. Distance healing requires teamwork and a lot of focus for both sides – for the people who are receiving reiki as well as for reiki practitioner who offer reiki.
