Improve Your Health and Wellness with Reiki

Being a Reiki practitioner, I'm often asked two questions: What is Reiki? and What is the Reiki experience like?
Being a Reiki practitioner, I’m often asked two questions: What is Reiki? and What is the Reiki experience like?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a practice that was developed in Japan in 1922. For the last century it has become a favorite of people who are interested in achieving spiritual and physical balance.

This is a practice that is also sometimes called palm healing or a laying on of hands. The idea is that one who practices Reiki can use their palms to transfer energy and promote healing and balance.

Reiki is a very gentle practice and many people leave a treatment feeling relaxed and balanced. When you go to a Reiki practitioner, you may spend some time talking about what’s going on and if you have any specific areas that need attention.

Then you’ll lie down on a table, like a massage table, fully clothed. You’ll want to wear loose-fitting clothing, such as yoga pants, so that you’re comfortable. The practitioner will then place his or her hands on specific areas of your body.

As the practitioner moves from area to area, you’ll be encouraged to breathe deeply to assist the energy flow. The experience of Reiki is completely safe and doesn’t have any side effects.

When choosing a practitioner, you should know that there are several different types of Reiki. Most people in North America practice the Western version while you may come across some that perform the Eastern method.

Reiki can help you to have more physical, mental, and spiritual balance. By balancing these energies, it promotes your body to heal itself naturally. Using Reiki can help you to heal faster and more efficiently.

Reiki can also be helpful for helping your body to get rid of toxins and to release any blocks of energy that you’re experiencing. During the actual treatment, you’ll feel relaxed, warm, and comfortable.

Many people enjoy the experience of Reiki and make it a point to take part in it regularly for balance and wellness. If you’re interested in Reiki, you’ll need to find someone trained as a practitioner.

Anyone can become a Reiki practitioner with the proper training. There are many training programs that vary in length and requirements. You can look online to find a practitioner in your area. You may also be able to enjoy distance healing from someone who isn’t in your location, but who can tap into your energy.

All in all, Reiki is a wonderful addition to your overall wellness. It’s recommended that you use Reiki as a supplement to other medical training, not a substitute.

      Felipe,
      Thanks so much for checking out the article and sharing your thoughts. I’m glad the piece resonated with you, and that you’re pleased with how I explain Reiki. I feel it’s important to do Reiki justice in terms of how it is presented to others, especially to those who might be new to it.
      I’m in full agreement with you (of course, being a practitioner myself) that more people need to consider exploring Reiki; it is such a complementary therapy and would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s personal wellness plan.
      Many blessings to you, my friend,
      James

      I agree with you on your points; Reiki is indeed a wonderful element to bring to your general wellness routine, and complements all medical therapies beautifully.
      I learned this first-hand when I experienced oral surgery. I was given prescription medication, which I wasn’t keen on taking, so I gave myself Reiki to complement the meds. As a result, I didn’t need to take as much of the medication as prescribed because the Reiki helped speed my recovery process.
      Thank you for your work in bringing more awareness about Reiki to the world. Blessings to you!
