Feeling stressed? Not sleeping well? Or are you carrying around a few extra pounds? A Reiki healing may be just what you need. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese technique for stress relief and natural healing based on the belief that energy flows through each of us, creating what most of us think of as our “life force.” Translated into English, the word means “universal life energy” and based on this notion, a Reiki therapist heals a patient by channeling energy to restore positive physical and emotional well-being.
This form of therapy is achieved by lightly placing the therapist’s hands on the patient’s body in non-intrusive positions, treating the whole person for anywhere between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on the individual’s specific needs. Because it’s a “smart energy,” the force will flow through the body to where the healing is needed most, regardless of where the therapist’s hands may be placed.
What you can expect at the end of your session is reduced anxiety and depression, deeper relaxation, better sleep, and enhanced general well-being, results that are absolutely worth the time for this particular brand of therapy that is complementary to and can be used with any other form of therapeutic remedies.
