Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is a powerful form of alternative wellness that promotes physical, mental, and emotional balance. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive technique that is based on the idea that an unseen 'life force energy' flows through us and is what causes us to be alive; (chi, ki, prana). It is the direct transfer of universal energy to the client through the practitioner.
It is a form of sending energy (Ki/Prana/Chi/ of the Highest Source) to your body's energy field & centers to help you aid in healing by releasing stress, withheld emotions, and/or stagnant energy. It actually follows the principles of physics; that the Universe is comprised of energy, and that physical matter is also, as well. We receive energy throughout the day without realizing it; through the sunlight, from tress, nature, people, etc. Everything around us is comprised of energy in some form. Some energies are low in frequencies and vibrations that can cause us to feel tired, depressed, or just temporarily bring down our mood/vibration. For these daily energies that we come across that cause temporary lowered frequencies or vibrations, it can easily be raised by many methods such as yoga, being in nature, high frequency music, grounding methods, meditation, mindfulness, & Reiki, to name a few. Reiki can help with these daily low energies, but it also has the ability to help with deeper withheld energies and traumas stored within your body. It can bring it to the surface to be released and without even having to know what caused it, especially with deep traumas.
Reiki uses the highest source of energy to help a person or animal release stuck or stored energy within that is unhealthy for us. Just as a sigh helps release energy by breathing in air which is comprised of light and energy and bringing it down and within our body to bring out the pent of energy we are holding at the moment. Reiki works on bringing in an energy comprised of high frequencies to release those stuck energies within on a deeper level than a sigh does and in various parts of the body. Think of vibrations and how if you are to vibrate an object that has stuck dirt on it, the vibrations will loosen and cause the dirt to be released from the object. In a sense Reiki works like that, helping the body loosen and release the stuck low energies from the body, gently and for many it is not even felt. The more sessions and attuned to Reiki, the more you sense the energy transfers. Reiki also has the benefit of cleansing and balancing your chakras.
Reiki is used in some hospitals throughout the U.S. to help aid in the healing process after surgeries, procedures, and cancer treatment. It has been shown to be helpful used along with or after medical treatments. It is also known to help reduce stress and help you relax. Since it is known to help with relaxing and stress it also has helped some with lessening their anxiety. There are many benefits it can provide and many of those are based on an individual and dependent on how open you are to receiving help and with helping yourself heal and overcoming/letting go of what is causing you to be unhealthy. Reiki can sometimes help you become aware of a root cause of an issue so you may release it and begin to help or possible begin to heal parts of yourself. Reiki is unlimited since the source of energy it comes from is unlimited and at its highest source so the benefits can also be limitless. It is however, highly suggested to work on yourself and take other measurements for your health to maintain a healthy lifestyle and ensure the work of Reiki and any other self-care is being optimized. Especially since we encounter energy all day long not all of highest source, along with other stress and withhold it in unconsciously.
