All, of course, are encouraged and supported by a healthy flow of energy, reducing stress and pain and nurturing relaxation.

Reiki is a Japanese healing art rooted in the Japanese words rei (universal) and kei (life energy). It is a complementary energy therapy that envelops the idea that everything in the universe embodies energy and flows everywhere and through living beings.

Furthermore, it is a spiritual practice but not correlated with religion or religious practice. Reiki is mainly linked to a philosophy of mind-body-spirit unity and connection to all things, restoring the balance of energy flow to a person by transmitting the energy flow received by the universe.

Promoting Healing: Benefits of Reiki and Energy Healing  

Although it’s not veraciously ascertained and not exactly measurable with modern scientific procedures, Reiki allegedly helps with various physical and emotional problems.

Here are some of its benefits:

• Lowers anxiety, stress, and pain in people undergoing surgery
• Enhances mood and sleep
• Improves pain control among cancer patients
• Relieves tension and relaxes the body and mind
• Accelerates natural healing process
• Assists in symptom management
• Boosts positive thinking
• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system

Partaking a Reiki Session: What to Expect

First and foremost, how does a Reiki session feel? Apparently, people who took part in a Reiki session felt feelings of tranquility, warmth, and relaxation and experienced sensations such as heat, cold, tingling, and even nothing. With that said, the sessions differ for various people. However, they often last approximately 60 and 90 minutes. The setting of the session typically happens in a peaceful and private place. Either the client will lie fully clothed on a table or sit in a comfortable chair.

In the midst of the Reiki session, the practitioner is expected to place their hand gently on or over particular areas of the client’s head, shoulders, stomach, and feet, depending on the client’s needs. This is when the energy transfer occurs. And the hand position is situated for around 3 to 10 minutes. Some practitioners will use symbols, crystals, and chakra healing wands to augment the quality and consolidate the benefits of the treatment.

The last thing we must know in a Reiki session is that there is little to no talking during the session, encouraging a more resonant, relaxed, and calm feeling and atmosphere.

All in all, understanding Reiki and energy healing also involves being aware that it is not a stand-alone treatment that should be used as an alternative approach to conventional medical conditions. It is important to comprehend Reiki as a complementary treatment, fostering wellness through producing balance in an individual’s life force or energy field.

Furthermore, it can be employed as a supporting practice while undergoing conventional treatment. Since Reiki is not a cure in any way, it can offer relaxation and promote healing.
