What Is Reiki

 What is Reiki?

You may have heard of Reiki before, but what is it, really? Reiki is a form of energy healing that has its roots in Japanese culture. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words - "Rei" which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and "Ki" which is "life force energy". So Reiki can be interpreted to mean "spiritually guided life force energy." 

Reiki is based on the idea that there is an unseen "life force energy" that flows through us and is what keeps us alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. A Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for this Universal Life Force Energy and channels it through their hands into the client's body. 

One of the great things about Reiki is that it can be used to complement other modalities and treatments. For example, many hospitals now have Reiki practitioners on staff to provide energy healing to patients before, during, and after surgery as studies have shown that patients who receive Reiki have less pain and anxiety both during and after surgery. 

Reiki can also be used in conjunction with traditional medicine to help alleviate side effects and improve recovery time. Some common conditions that people seek out Reiki for include: headaches, fertility issues, digestive problems, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. 

Whether you are looking for an alternative form of healing or you would like to complement your current treatment plan, considering giving Reiki a try. Remember that a small amount of time spent receiving energy healing can have a profound and lasting impact on your overall health and wellbeing!
