What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. It is a gentle
method of hands on healing that taps into the energy referred to as ki
in Japan, chi in China, and prana in India. The practice of Reiki is
based on the teachings of Mikao Usui, who practiced and taught healing
techniques in early twentieth century Japan.
Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosing illness. Reiki
is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, gently
and powerfully promoting balance among all the body's systems and the
regenerative processes of body and mind.
What is a Reiki Session like?
To receive Reiki, most people lie on a table fully clothed, so wear
comfortable clothing. Little or no pressure is applied and no oils are
used. The technique is so adaptable that you can receive it in almost
any setting, in a chair, or hospital bed, and through casts and
bandages.
Still and focused, the practitioner will simply place his or her hands
on or above your head, shoulders, back, chest, stomach, and limbs.
Practitioners routinely follow a series of hand positions, but can
places their hands anywhere you would like them to, for example over an
injury or other areas of discomfort. The teachings say that universal
energy flows, not from the practitioner, but rather through the
practitioner, to you. You will receive the amount of energy you need to
bring your mind and body into balance.
Though Reiki techniques appear simple, the effects can feel profound.
Most people experience deep relaxation. You may also feel tingling,
pulsing, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or you may even fall asleep.
Results can be subtle. Some recipients say they feel little during the
session, but afterwards enjoy a sense of calm and well being, and a deep
restful sleep. It is possible you could experience powerful sensations
or emotions during or after your session. Your practitioner will want to
hear about your responses to the degree you are comfortable sharing
them.
What Reiki can mean for you.
Reiki can alleviate pain, stress, and promote restful sleep, healing,
and relaxation. Relaxation in itself promotes a host of benefits for the
mind and body including a heightened sense of well being, release of
painful muscle tension, and relief from anxiety and depression. In
addition, relaxation has been shown to help restore immune function and
improve circulation, enhancing healing throughout your body.
