What Is Reiki? Come Home to Deep Healing

Reiki is a well-known healing modality, but even for those who have experienced it, there can be some confusion about what it is and how it works.

For those who have experienced a Reiki treatment, they'll know how relaxing it can be. Reiki is a non- invasive treatment that works well alongside other medicines and healing modalities. At the beginning of a treatment, a client will lie down fully clothed. A Reiki practitioner will place their hands on or above a client's body. The practitioner will channel the Reiki healing energy to help balance and restore the body. This can help heal any emotional, physical, mental and spiritual dis-ease or dis-comfort.

When the body is out of balance, it can cause physical and mental ailments, dis-ease and discomfort. For example, a person may seek comfort in disassociating, getting lost in fantasy and shutting off from emotion. They may experience physical pain in their legs, lower back or bowels. Reiki energy helps to treat this imbalance by balancing the areas of the body that are seeking safety and security. Another example is of a person who may feel unconfident, not believe in themselves, have digestive issues, or problems with the liver. Reiki will help to ease the discomfort and aid healing, so a person's mental, physical and spiritual body can begin to feel worthy, confident, and believe in themselves.

 In other energy healing practices, it may be believed that the energy healing is awakened inside of you. For Reiki, it is slightly different. Not everybody is born channelling Reiki energy. You must first become attuned to it. A Reiki attunement is given intentionally by a Reiki Master, typically to a Reiki student. They will then channel the Reiki energy, being able to heal both themselves and others.
