Reiki
Reiki is an old Japanese technique for stress management and well being. It is a gentle yet specific form of energy healing, in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, as in “laying on of hands.”The intention of a reiki treatment is to bring the body, mind and spirit back into balance. It provides relaxation, relieves anxiety, stimulates the immune system, releases toxins or energy blocks and promotes healing.
Reiki is a great tool for stress reduction and relaxation. Many people use Reiki for wellness. Reiki is not a cure for a disease or illness, but it may assist the body in creating an environment to facilitate healing. Reiki is a great tool to use as a complement to traditional medicine and is practiced in many hospitals and medical care settings. It is not affiliated with any religious practice and practiced in every country of the world.
Some examples of conditions that might benefit from Reiki include: headaches, migraines, depression, chronic pain, stress, adrenal fatigue, anxiety and grief. Reiki does not replace Western Medicine or Counseling but is a great complementary modality for a wellness or health program.
Usui Reiki:
Usui Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk, it is a holistic practice that aims to balance and harmonize the body, mind, and spirit by transferring and channeling universal life force energy through the hands of a trained practitioner. The practice involves the transfer of this energy through a series of gentle, non-invasive touch or hovering techniques, often accompanied by meditation, visualization, and breathing exercises. The goal of Usui Reiki is to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being, as well as spiritual growth and self-awareness.
​
Non-traditional Reiki is an approach that deviates from the traditional Japanese Reiki techniques and principles, often incorporating elements of modern Western spirituality and energy healing. It may involve the use of crystals, essential oils, and other modalities to enhance the Reiki energy, as well as the integration of other forms of energy healing, such as sound healing, acupuncture, and magnet therapy. Non-traditional Reiki practitioners may also emphasize the use of intuition and personal connection with the client, rather than strict adherence to traditional techniques and protocols. This approach can be seen as a fusion of Eastern and Western energy healing practices, offering a more eclectic and adaptable form of Reiki.
