Everything You Need To Know About Reiki

It is very important, when deciding to undergo Reiki therapy, to consult a specialist in this field. And not to stop the medical treatment you are taking.

Reiki is one of the many types of traditional therapy that originated in Japan which means ‘treatment through the hands’ . This method was first practiced by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s. Then later developed by his disciple, Churijo Hayashi.

Reiki treatments have a very remarkable and positive effect on the mind, body and emotions of the patient. Reiki energy travels through the receiver balancing its chakras and increasing its vibrational frequency.

Reiki energy has its own intelligence and therefore travels to the parts where the patient needs healing the most.

Benefits of Reiki

Reiki is a Sanskrit word which means universal energy ( rei ) and vital energy ( ki ). It is a technique that activates the flow of energy through massages or postures practiced by the specialized therapist. Reiki acts on the body in the following way:

• Physical : improves lesions and metabolism.
• Emotional : relaxes the person and gives him emotional balance in cases of depression.
• Mental : helps with insomnia and stress.
• Spiritual : balances harmony and inner peace.

The therapy can work on any type of person, whether it is a child or an elderly person, including pregnant women. The therapy is always administered in a complementary form to a conventional medical diagnosis or to psychological treatment.

Reiki is based on the theory of the chakras. This way it is easy for the therapist to know what is the root of the problem. Because he or she proceeds to unblock the blocked chakra which prevents the flow of energy. The therapist then acts as a channel for universal energy and his goal is to harmonize the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes.

What is Reiki used for?

It is normal that over the days our body deteriorates, and it is for this reason that the vital energy points or chakras are blocked. This is where Reiki comes in to improve health.

When our life energy is strong, it is easy to find ourselves in good physical, mental and spiritual health. When our life energy is blocked, we can easily be out of balance or sick. One of the ways we can replenish our vital energy is through Reiki.

Reiki is a holistic technique. Because it harmonizes and unblocks all levels of the human being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It does not harm the body in any way and does not create addiction or side effects.

Since it does not use chemicals or elements foreign to the body, but only the vital energy present in every living being.

Reiki is used for:

• Release pent-up emotions.
• Bring physical vitality.
• Revitalize the body.
• Increase the effects of medical treatment when used as a supplement, without ever replacing it.
• Reduce or eliminate anxiety.
• Help to eliminate daily stress.
• Treat migraines, depression, menstrual pain, constipation.
• Help cleanse the body and mind of all types of toxins.
• Improve pregnancy and postpartum.
• Help animals and plants.

You don’t have to be sick to use Reiki therapy. Because it is suitable for relaxation in times of stress. With this method, we can help our body to become healthier, calm bad thoughts and increase the feeling of happiness.

Reiki in healing crises

A healing crisis is, in short, a process that activates throughout our being. Through it, our physical body releases toxins that negatively affect our organs. And our mental-emotional body releases emotions and generates negative thoughts.

Symptoms we may experience

Among the emotional symptoms that we can present in a healing crisis, we can highlight:

• Anger,
• Sadness,
• Fear,
• Hatred,
• Anxiety.

The physical symptoms that may occur are as follows:

• Excessive sweating,
• Increased urination,
• Vomiting,
• Cold or flu,
• Headache,
• Fever,
• Pain of the past.

Everyone responds to treatment differently. In general, treatment in several sessions is necessary for a healing crisis.

A Reiki session

During a Reiki treatment, the patient lies down comfortably while the therapist uses Reiki energy to remove energy blockages and balance the patient’s life force.

Reiki deals with the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parts of each person. It helps cure the disease at its root. It also helps the patient to put aside the limitations of negative thoughts that can block their progress in life.

Most people experience a feeling of deep relaxation during Reiki therapy. Once the session is over, they then feel more relaxed, reconnected to the earth, refreshed and energized.

A Reiki session can last about an hour and the patient will be lying on a bed, barefoot and clothed.

During the session, the therapist uses soft music and aromas such as incense or essential oils.
