Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: “Rei,” meaning universal, and “Ki,” meaning life energy. We believe that this life energy flows through all living beings and that disruptions or blockages in this energy flow can lead to physical, emotional, and mental imbalances.

In a Reiki session, I will place my hands lightly on or above my client’s body in specific positions to channel healing energy. The aim is to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Reiki can be performed in person or remotely (distant Reiki), as we believe energy is not bound by time or space.

Benefits of Reiki:

• Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Reiki is often used to help reduce stress and promote deep relaxation, creating a state of calm that supports the body’s natural healing processes.
• Emotional Healing: Reiki may help release emotional blockages, reduce anxiety, and improve overall emotional well-being. It can bring a sense of peace, clarity, and balance.
• Physical Healing: Some people report that Reiki helps alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery from illness or injury. It is often used as a complementary therapy in conjunction with conventional medical treatments.
• Mental Clarity: By balancing energy in the body, Reiki is thought to help clear mental fog and promote clarity of thought, aiding in better decision-making and focus.
• Spiritual Growth: For some, Reiki is a spiritual practice that enhances a sense of connection to their inner self or the universe, fostering spiritual growth and self-awareness.
• Improved Sleep: Many people find that Reiki helps them sleep better, as it encourages relaxation and relieves tension.

Reiki is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for people of all ages and health conditions. While scientific evidence on its effectiveness is still limited, many individuals report positive experiences with Reiki as part of a holistic approach to wellness.
