Reiki is a Japanese technique that is used today by millions of people worldwide. The benefit of REIKI to you is an improvement in your overall well being.
Reiki is a gentle healing technique that helps the muscles and tissues relax resulting in an increase in the blood flow to the treated area. This helps to reduce stress and pain and quickens the healing process. Reiki also aids in removing disturbances or blockages in your energy system which, if left unattended, could eventually lead to illness or dis-ease. By balancing and restoring the body’s energy system to a harmonious state,stress is reduced, pain is relieved, toxins are released and healing can take place at all levels:
- Physical Healing
- Mental Healing
- Emotional Healing
- Spiritual Healing
Reiki can be used together with “traditional” medical or psychological treatment. Reiki works to improve the results of traditional treatment. It has been shown to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy with cancer patients, surgery and medications.

Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is not massage nor is it based on belief or suggestion. It is a subtle and effective form of energywork using spiritually guided life force energy.
Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. Reiki Practitioners understand that everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in themselves and help others. It is believed that a person’s “ki” or energy should be strong and free flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance.
A Reiki session can help ease tension and stress and can help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. A session is pleasant and relaxing and is often utilized for one’s personal wellness…continue reading at International Association of Reiki Professionals®
Are there any side effects from a Reiki treatment?
Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and uplifted by a Reiki treatment. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing crisis. As a person’s vibration goes up, toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the blood stream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system. When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache or stomach ache or feel weak. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals and get more rest. The body is cleansing as part of the healing process so this is a good sign.
