Reiki Healing
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese energy healing practice based on the idea that a universal life-force energy flows through all living beings.
Originating in Japan (1920s) Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk and spiritual teacher, following a 21-day meditation retreat on Mount Kurama in 1922. During this retreat, he reportedly experienced a moment of deep spiritual awakening in which the knowledge and ability to heal using life-force energy was revealed to him. He went on to develop a formal system, founding a healing society called the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Tokyo.
The word itself is a combination of two Japanese words: Rei (universal or spiritual wisdom) and Ki (life energy, equivalent to Chi in Chinese medicine or Prana in Ayurvedic tradition). When this energy is blocked or depleted, practitioners believe illness, stress, and emotional imbalance can arise. Reiki aims to restore its flow.
It is considered a complementary or holistic therapy — most practitioners and recipients use it alongside conventional medicine, not as a replacement for it.
How it works (the theory)
Reiki is founded on the concept that the body has an energy field (the biofield) that can become stagnant or unbalanced due to stress, trauma, illness, or negative emotions. Practitioners believe they act as a conduit for universal life-force energy, channelling it through their hands into the recipient's body to clear energy blockages, rebalance the chakras (energy centres in the body), promote the body's natural ability to heal itself and calm the nervous system
What to expect during a Reiki Session
Each session is unique to the individual but you can expect deep relaxation, often compared to the sensation just before falling asleep, a feeling of warmth, tingling, or pulsing sensations from the practitioner's hands, a sense of emotional release (some people feel moved to tears without knowing why), either heaviness in the limbs, or conversely a feeling of lightness and vivid imagery, colours, or the recollection of memories arising
Benefits of Reiki Healing
​
Reiki is most widely used for its effects on wellbeing and stress, and is increasingly offered in clinical settings. Reported and studied benefits include:
Mental & emotional benefits include reduced anxiety and stress, a sense of calm and emotional balance, improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression, feelings of being heard and cared for (therapeutic presence) and being supported during grief, trauma and life transitions.
Physical benefits include reduced perception of pain (particularly in palliative and cancer care), improved sleep quality, reduced fatigue and increased energy levels, support for recovery after surgery or illness and lower blood pressure and heart rate in some studies.
Spiritual / holistic benefits include a greater sense of connectedness and purpose, improved feeling of clarity or insight and support for personal or spiritual growth.
