Healing Benefits of Reiki
There are a number of healing benefits of Reiki that make it worth considering getting treatments from a Reiki master, or learning how to treat yourself. Once you receive an attunement from a Reiki master, you can study Level 1 and the hand positions used for healing. Studies have shown that Reiki is an effective way to balance the human energy field, the aura, and the energy centers, the chakras, and meridians, to support health and heal certain conditions.
Reiki is a combination of 2 Japanese words, rei (RAY) and ki (KEY or CHEE). Rei means spirit. Ki or qi or chi refers to your vital energy, that which keeps you alive. Reiki is often translated as universal life force energy, which gives you an idea of its healing benefits. When the flow of ki is blocked or disrupted in some way, it affects body, mind and spirit.
There are many reasons why the ki can get blocked or imbalanced. These include:
* Stress
* Poor sleep
* Trauma, such as accidents
* Surgery
* Poor eating habits
* Unhealthy personal habits, such as smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol
* Depression
* Anxiety
All of these can start to wear us down and cause physical sickness and emotional imbalance. Luckily, Reiki can help in an effective but noninvasive way. It can even be done at a distance by a high-level reiki master.
The Reiki master will help unblock the flow of ki and bring the energy centers back into balance. They will then work on what needs to be healed. There are 2 styles of Reiki, traditional Japanese and Western. Western is great for supporting overall well-being. Japanese offers deeper healing, down to the organ level of the body.
