“According to professional reiki practitioners, each of us has a life force energy that flows through our body. If we want to thrive physically and mentally, we have to take care of that flow.
Reiki is a holistic energy treatment modality that is becoming more and more popular in and out of the medical field.
The term ‘Reiki’ is a Japanese word that means ‘mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign’, combining rei ‘soul, spirit’ and ki. Reiki refers to ‘vital energy’ or ‘universal life energy.’ This healing method was discovered and cultivated in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui, after experiencing a profound spiritual experience.
Since then, smaller branches of Reiki have risen, but the most common system is the Usui System of Natural Healing. Students are trained by a Reiki master through a series of educational sessions and an attunement.
Essentially, an attunement occurs when the Reiki master opens the practitioner’s energetic pathways so that healing energy can freely flow through them toward those they treat. It’s a spiritual experience that’s usually quite profound for the students.
For many years the validity of this holistic healing practice has been questioned, but it is now gaining much respect among professionals.
In fact, some medical facilities, such as John Hopkin’s Medical Center, are now utilizing alternative healing methods, such as Reiki, to help patients and documenting the beneficial results.
This practice usually happens in quiet and private settings where the client can relax. The practitioner hovers their hand over specific body parts, allowing an energy transfer to occur. It can also be done remotely via distance healing without leaving the confines of your home. (With your express permission.)
Research is so far inconclusive on whether or not reiki always leads to the claimed benefits. But studies from 2007 show that more than a million US adults have turned to reiki therapy, suggesting they have found great benefit from the practice.”
