What is Reiki? 5 reasons why you need try it for yourself now more than ever!

“What is Reiki anyway?” I get asked this a lot and when I try to explain it, I’m often met with furrowed brows and squinty eyes as if to say what the F is this girl on about ? I don’t know about you, but I always find it easier to explain and understand things when I write them down so this one is for everyone...

Whether you know absolutely nothing about it, have heard of it and are intrigued to try, or if (like me) you’re Reiki obsessed & just want to hear more of what you already know about this life enhancing energy, then read on…

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) means universal life force energy.

“Rei” means universe or the higher consciousness if you will. The all knowing, and all pervading higher force. It understands the root cause and the cure for all problems or difficulties. It’s the incomprehensible energy that we mere humans can only try to understand in its entirety.

“Ki” - means life force energy. It’s the non physical energy that can be accumulated by the body and guided by the Higher self.

This energy is and should be used for the highest good of all concerned.

How it works?

Reiki is a hands on and hands off healing system. The practitioner can place hands on you (if you don’t mind) or just above you (no touching) for it to work.

Reiki always assists the body’s natural ability to heal thyself - when energy is unable to flow through without ease it actually causes dis-ease - Reiki helps energy to flow through you better and it works on three different levels - mentally, physically and emotionally.

And it’s not just used on humans; you can use it on animals, plants, the world and situations too.

It really works in wondrous ways!

Wait there! Don’t stop reading just yet! Reiki is not just for the spiritually inclined! It works whether you believe in it or not. Whether you experience sensations in your body during the session or not it will still be working for you. Although the more open you are to it, the more it can help you.

Here are some great reasons (just a few of many) why you should Reiki for yourself.

5 reasons to try Reiki:

1.Relax your mind & change your vibe

• Fundamentally, reiki works on 3 levels, to heal the mind body and soul. When it comes to the mind, we can often suffer intensely with different issues and thoughts it can be draining. Reiki helps to alleviate issues such as: anxiety, stress, depression and confusion. The more sessions you have the better and more centred you will feel.

2.Get back to sleep again

• Having trouble sleeping? Do you feel groggy when you wake up in the mornings or perhaps you keep waking up 10 times a night? Reiki can help you with that. During reiki, symbols and setting intentions can be used to enhance or promote your quality of sleep. So many of my clients have come back and told me it’s changed their sleeping patterns for the better.

3. Give yourself that reassuring feeling you need to be ok

• When all seems lost and you need something to ground you Reiki will help! Reiki energises you when you feel drained in times of upheaval and calms you when you’re frightened. It helps you to focus your mind when you feel foggy and solve problems when you feel there’s no solution.

4. Boost your immune system

• Reiki generally improves overall health. It can accelerates the natural healing of wounds and can gradually clear up chronic problems. Reiki helps prevent the development of disease as it puts your body more into alignment.

5.Turn pain into power

• Reiki dissolves energy blockages and releases emotional wounds that we hold in our body. Old and new. Reiki energy allows for stagnant energy and perhaps thoughts and processes in your everyday life that do not serve you, to be brought to light.

Food For Thought Remember : Reiki can be done on a one to one basis, but can also be done via long distance online - it works just as well either way. During this time of social isolation it gives us time for ultimate reflection and to see things differently. Perhaps it is time to take a step back and give yourself a real chance towards good health and healing and to live your life in a more conscious way?
