Reiki Healing: Demystifying the Ancient Energy-Based Therapy

Unplugging from everyday life and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing is just the beginning at 360 Wellness Okotoks. We offer a host of wellness therapies, including an ancient, energy-based therapy known as Reiki healing.

In this article, we will get an in-depth understanding of Reiki healing, discussing the principles, process, and benefits of this service.

Understanding Reiki Healing

Reiki, pronounced as 'ray-key,' is a non-invasive, energy-based healing therapy that originated in Japan in the late 19th century. The term 'Reiki' is a fusion of two Japanese words, 'Rei,' meaning universal life and 'Ki,' referring to energy.

Reiki healing incorporates this universal life energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. The therapy believes in the principle that an unseen life force flows through us, and if this force is low, we fall sick and feel stressed. That's when the healer using Reiki practices can help.

How does Reiki Healing Work?

Reiki healing is a hands-on therapy, but it does not involve hard pressure or massage. The Reiki practitioner places their hands lightly over specific areas of the client's body, often following a particular sequence. The underlying principle is to channel positive energy into the body, clearing energy blockages, and stimulating the body's natural healing processes.

Benefits of Reiki Healing

Holistic Wellness: Reiki focuses on your body, mind, and spirit, providing a comprehensive approach to wellness. This energy-based therapy helps create balance and harmony, bringing a sense of peace and well-being.

Stress Reduction and Relaxation: By promoting an environment of serenity, Reiki induces deep relaxation, helping reduce stress. The positive energy channeled during the session soothes your mind, helping you let go of anxiety and tension.

Improves Health Conditions: While Reiki is not a replacement for traditional medicine, it can complement the treatment of various health conditions. The positive energy channeled during the session can help to manage pain, boost the immune system and accelerate the healing process after surgeries.

Promotes Emotional Healing: Reiki can help heal emotional wounds by energizing your inner strength. It provides a safe space for releasing emotions like fear, anxiety, frustration, and depression, promoting emotional balance and mental clarity.
