Energy Healing:

Reiki is based on the belief that a life force energy flows through the body. Practitioners use their hands to channel and direct this energy to areas where it is needed.

Hands-On or Distant Healing:

Reiki can be administered in person, with the practitioner placing their hands on or near the recipient’s body, or it can be done remotely, where the practitioner sends healing energy to the recipient from a distance.

Holistic Approach:

 Reiki is a holistic therapy that considers the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person. It aims to address imbalances on all these levels.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction:

Reiki sessions are typically relaxing and can reduce stress and tension. The recipient often lies down or sits in a comfortable position during the treatment.

Non-Invasive:

Reiki is non-invasive, as the practitioner does not manipulate the body or use any tools or equipment. It is a gentle and safe practice.

Complementary Therapy:

Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments to promote relaxation and support the body’s natural healing processes.

During a Reiki session, a practitioner typically follows a set of hand positions on or near the recipient’s body, focusing on energy centres, or chakras, to clear blockages and balance the energy flow. Recipients may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during the session.

Reiki is widely practiced and has many proponents who find it helpful for relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional well-being. However, its scientific basis and mechanisms of action remain subjects of study and discussion.
