By Internationally Accredited Holistic Therapist & Trainer
Introduction to Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki energy healing is a holistic practice that originated in Japan, developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. The term “Reiki” is derived from the Japanese words “Rei,” meaning universal, and “Ki,” meaning life force energy. This practice is based on the belief that life force energy flows through all living beings and is crucial for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. When this energy is balanced and free-flowing, individuals experience better health and a sense of harmony. Conversely, blockages or imbalances in this energy can lead to illness and stress.
The Reiki Healing Process
A typical Reiki session involves a practitioner who has been trained and attuned to Reiki energy. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the recipient’s body in a series of specific positions. These positions usually correspond to the major chakras, or energy centers, of the body. The practitioner’s hands act as conduits for Reiki energy, which flows into the recipient, promoting relaxation, healing, and a sense of well-being. Sessions can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the needs of the individual.

The Reiki Lifestyle
Reiki energy healing is not just a treatment but a way of life that promotes overall wellness.

These precepts emphasize the importance of not worrying, not being angry, working honestly, being grateful, and showing kindness to oneself and others.
