Reiki healing is a form of complementary therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” is derived from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. The results you can receive from Reiki healing vary from person to person. The practice is based on the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living things, and disruptions or imbalances in this energy can lead to physical or emotional distress.

Have you ever found yourself wondering how Reiki healing works? Energy healing is a form of therapy in which powerful Divine energy brings about healing and alleviates different afflictions of the mind, body, and spirit. Reiki healing is delivered through touch – by laying on hands or through distance, as in prayer. The results of Reiki healing can vary widely from person to person, and individual experiences may differ. Scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of Reiki is increasing and many people report positive outcomes and benefits. Some potential results or effects of Reiki healing include:

• Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Reiki sessions often induce deep relaxation, which can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
• Pain Management: Some individuals report reduced pain and discomfort after Reiki sessions. This may be related to the relaxation response and the release of tension.
• Improved Sleep: Many find that Reiki promotes better sleep and helps with insomnia or sleep disturbances.
• Enhanced Emotional Well-Being: Reiki is often associated with emotional healing. Clients may experience a release of emotional blockages, improved mood, and a greater sense of emotional balance.
• Increased Energy Levels: Some individuals feel energized and revitalized after a Reiki session.
• Support for Healing Processes: Reiki is sometimes a complementary therapy for individuals undergoing medical treatments or recovering from illness or surgery. It is not a substitute for medical care but may be used with conventional treatments.
• Spiritual Growth and Awareness: For some, Reiki is a spiritual practice that fosters a deeper connection with their spirituality or a higher power.
• Enhanced Well-Being: People may experience an overall sense of well-being, improved mental clarity, and a greater connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Whole Life Center energy healing classes guide students to reach a deeper understanding of the Divine, embody spirituality, and give Reiki healing to others. They will learn how to remove blocked energy pathways and transmit energy to help restore health in people and animals. When we realize that everything around us contains energy, including our thoughts, it allows us to understand that we can influence how to use Source energy for healing. For instance, giving energy to our thoughts can manifest as a habit, behavior, or action. Dwelling on negative thoughts will often manifest as a physical illness. Conversely, positive thoughts encourage the natural flow of positive energy and can result in better health and spiritual balance.
