What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that promotes stress reduction and balances the mind, body, and spirit.

Rei- higher power  Ki- life force energy

Reiki is translated as life force energy that is present in all living things. Humans, animals, plants, all things have energy.

If you have done yoga, you may be familiar with the word chakra, which translated from Sanskrit means wheel or disk. The chakras are energy centers in our bodies that Reiki or life force energy passes through. It is the energy that keeps us alive, vibrant, and healthy. Our bodies have many chakra points, however, there are 7 main chakras that they all connect to.

When our energy centers are blocked or have imbalances it can be manifested in our emotional and physical bodies as illness or dis-ease.

For example, if your root chakra is blocked, you may experience symptoms such as anger, frustration, fear, low self-esteem, pain in your legs, feet, and lower back. I will post further explanations of the chakras in a separate blog post. 

Reiki is performed by a certified and attuned practitioner who channels life force energy through his or her hands unto another and infuses the body with energies of love and light. Reiki is an intelligent form of energy healing and it goes to where it is needed.
