What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that involves the transfer of universal energy through the hands of a trained practitioner to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Originating in Japan in the early 20th century, Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui, who sought a method to heal both mind and body through energetic balance. The term “Reiki” combines the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy), which reflects the technique’s goal of channeling universal life force energy to harmonize and heal.

A Reiki Session

In a Reiki session, the practitioner lightly places their hands on or just above specific areas of the recipient’s body, allowing energy to flow through their hands to the client. The technique requires no physical manipulation or pressure, and the recipient remains fully clothed. The practitioner acts as a conduit, focusing on specific energy centers or chakras to clear any blockages and allow energy to flow freely. Many report feelings of warmth, tingling, or a sense of relaxation as the energy moves through the body.

Benefits of Reiki

Reiki is commonly used to reduce stress, relieve pain, and promote relaxation, making it popular as a complementary therapy in hospitals and wellness centers. Research on Reiki shows varying outcomes, with some studies indicating potential benefits for stress reduction, improved sleep, and faster recovery times. Many practitioners and recipients of Reiki commonly report subjective improvements, such as feeling more grounded and centered.

Who Is Reiki For?

Reiki’s non-invasive, gentle approach has made it accessible for all ages and conditions, often being sought to support traditional treatments. By focusing on restoring balance in the body’s energy field, Reiki encourages the body’s natural healing processes and fosters a sense of holistic well-being, making it an increasingly popular choice in modern wellness practices worldwide.
