The Healing Energies of Reiki: An Ancient Practice for Modern Well-being

The quest for optimal health and wellness is a journey that many embark on. At 360 Wellness Okotoks, we like to think of ourselves as compasses guiding you toward solutions that are best for you. One of these solutions is Reiki - an ancient practice that's become a beacon of hope in our modern world. But what is Reiki, and how can it benefit you?

Understanding Reiki

Reiki originated from Japan in the early 20th century. It's a form of energy healing that manipulates the unseen "life force energy" flowing through us. The term Reiki comprises two Japanese words - Rei which translates to "God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So, Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy.

When one's life force energy is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed; if it's high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki doesn't just treat the symptoms, it treats the person as a whole, recognizing that well-being is about balance – body, mind, and spirit.

The Reiki Experience

Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing that everyone can use. During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the person, using a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet.

A comforting flow of energy passes from the practitioner's hands into the recipient, triggering the body's natural healing abilities, and promoting a sense of peace and well-being. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colors, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicative of deep healing at the spiritual level.

The Benefits of Reiki

Physical Healing

Reiki works on different levels, including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It helps relieve pain from migraine, arthritis, and sciatica and eases the symptoms of asthma, chronic fatigue, menopausal symptoms, and insomnia.

Promotes Balance & Harmony

Reiki balances the mind and emotions, helping you to cope with everyday stress better. It promotes mental clarity, relaxation, and improved learning, memory, and mental clarity.

Complements Medical Treatment & Improves Immunity

Reiki healing complements medical treatment and can improve its results. Side effects of regular medical treatments have also been reduced or eliminated. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post-operative pain, and depression, as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. Reiki also helps in boosting your immune system, enabling it to better deal with the body's invaders.

Dissolves Energy Blocks & Promotes Natural Balance

Reiki can help break down energy blocks and balance the mind, body, and spirit. Regular Reiki treatments can bring about a calmer and more peaceful state of being, in which a person is better able to cope with everyday stress. This mental balance also enhances learning, memory and mental clarity.
