Reduce stress, anxiety, and unlock your body's natural healing abilities with Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of energy from the practitioner's hands to the patient's body. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words, "rei" meaning universal and "ki" meaning life force energy. The practice is based on the belief that a person's energy, or life force, flows through the body and can become blocked, causing physical or emotional imbalances.

Reiki practitioners use specific hand movements and techniques to balance the energy in the body, which can help alleviate physical and emotional pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote overall wellness.

Origins of Reiki

Reiki was developed in the early 1900s by a Japanese Buddhist named Dr. Mikao Usui. Usui was on a quest to understand the healing methods used by ancient masters, which led him to a 21-day spiritual retreat on Mount Kurama in Kyoto, Japan.

During his retreat, Usui experienced a profound spiritual awakening and received the knowledge and ability to heal through the transmission of energy. He then began practising and teaching Reiki to others, and the technique spread throughout Japan and eventually to the Western world.

How does Reiki work?

Scientific evidence reveals that vibrational patterns exist throughout the universe. Whenever there is an electrical charge present, a corresponding magnetic field is generated. This phenomenon extends to every atom, including those within our bodies, the Earth, trees, plants, as well as our heart and brain.

Looking at this concept of energy at a scientific molecular level, where everything is made up of vibrating atoms, we understand that everything on this Earth is made up of the same particles and that we are ‘one’ no matter who or what we are. We refer to this as what is the ‘Universal life force energy’.

By receiving Reiki, we can enhance the flow of vibrations within our energetic fields. This process allows us to recognise our inherent link with all living beings and harmoniously exist in alignment—a state of unity with everything around us.

For some, the flow of this energy may be blocked due to life stressors and other mental or physical ailments causing the energy to be either stagnant or not have consistent flow causing dis-ease or disharmony.

Reiki is a non-invasive, safe and gentle form of energy healing therapy that supports a flow of vitality throughout the body.  It uses the healing power of the ‘Universal life force energy’ that is all around us and with this energy, is then channelled throughout our bodily systems to relieve any dis-ease or disharmony that we may have. 

A Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit, to channel this ‘Universal life force energy’ to help activate areas which may cause blockages or rebalance areas that may be hyperactive, allowing the body to heal itself after each session. Reiki practitioners use specific hand movements and techniques to balance the energy in the body and some may also use other modalities to assist such as crystals, sound therapy, aromatherapy or meditation.

How does Distance Reiki work?

With the fundamentals of Reiki explained, where everything on Earth is ‘Universal life force energy’ made up of vibrational atoms, Distance Reiki or Distance Healing is explained through the concept of energy field. Energy fields are around all objects, things and beings, that are all electrically charged, everywhere, all the time, in essence connecting us all together.

This means no matter where anything is in this world, at an energetic level, we are all connected. As such, whenever there’s a connection, there’s the ability to create and affect through that link to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

Since the Field is energy itself, that means it’s always in a state of flux in the empty area just out in front of you right now. Imagine what ripples look like if you were to drop a pebble into a calm body of water.

That fluctuating Field of energy is the same one that connects us all together. Reiki practitioners harness their focus on these ripples, using it as a connector, a transmitter, a direct-line, to their intended target in that Field.

Distance Healing is the focused process of transmitting energy healing via the Universe or the Field to, or for, someone or something that exists anywhere in space-time. So no matter where you are in the world, distance or in-person, the healing acts in the exact same way.
