FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT REIKI

 
What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports overall well-being. It involves the practitioner channeling healing energy through their hands to the recipient.

How does Reiki work?

Reiki works by channeling universal life force energy to promote balance, relaxation, and healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. It is based on the idea that energy flows through and around us, and when this energy is blocked or imbalanced, it can contribute to stress, illness, or emotional discomfort. Reiki helps to restore this flow, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

What happens during a Reiki session?

During a session, the client typically lies fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or above the body in specific positions. Many people experience warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or emotional release.

What are the benefits of Reiki?

Reiki offers a wide range of benefits, supporting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Because it works holistically, each person experiences Reiki differently, and the effects can vary depending on individual needs. However, some of the most commonly reported benefits include:

Deep Relaxation & Stress Reduction:

One of the most immediate and noticeable benefits of Reiki is a deep sense of relaxation and calm. Reiki helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which shifts the body from “fight or flight” mode to a state of rest, allowing stress and tension to melt away.

Emotional Healing & Balance:

Reiki can help release suppressed emotions, bringing a sense of inner peace and emotional stability. It is often used to support those dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, or trauma by helping to clear energetic blockages that contribute to emotional distress.

Physical Healing & Pain Relief:

While Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, it is known to complement traditional healthcare by promoting pain relief and faster recovery. Many people report relief from chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, and muscle tension after Reiki sessions.

Improved Sleep & Mental Clarity:

By calming the nervous system and promoting relaxation, Reiki can improve sleep quality, making it easier to fall and stay asleep. Additionally, it can enhance mental clarity, focus, and decision-making by reducing mental clutter and overactive thoughts.

Strengthened Immune System:

Reiki supports the body’s natural healing abilities by reducing stress and promoting balance. Since stress can weaken the immune system, Reiki helps create an optimal environment for the body to heal and function at its best.

Energetic Balancing & Chakra Alignment:

Reiki works to clear blockages and balance the body’s energy centers (chakras), allowing life force energy to flow freely. When energy flows harmoniously, individuals often experience increased vitality, emotional stability, and a greater sense of well-being.

Enhanced Spiritual Growth & Intuition:

Many Reiki recipients find that sessions deepen their connection to their inner wisdom, intuition, and spiritual path. Reiki can help individuals feel more aligned with their life purpose, increase self-awareness, and foster a sense of peace and interconnectedness.

Is Reiki safe?

Yes, Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing technique that is completely safe for everyone, including children, the elderly, and even pets. It works by promoting balance and relaxation without any known negative side effects. Reiki will never override free will or impose healing that is not accepted by the recipient on a subconscious or energetic level. It complements medical treatments and other therapies but does not replace professional medical care. Instead, it supports the body’s natural healing process in alignment with the individual’s highest good.

Can Reiki be done remotely?

Yes, Reiki can be performed from a distance. Practitioners use specific techniques to send healing energy to clients who are not physically present.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs. Some people feel better after one session, while others benefit from regular treatments.
