In a world bustling with modern medical practices, there emerges a healing technique that aligns and heals not just the body but the spirit and mind—Reiki. This ancient Japanese form of healing facilitates the flow of energy in a person, promoting wellness, reducing stress, and enhancing one's quality of life. As we explore the profound benefits of Reiki, we also extend an invitation to experience the transformative power of distance Reiki healing, available directly through our services.
What is Reiki?
Reiki, meaning "spiritually guided life force energy," is a holistic healing method founded in the early 20th century by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
History of Reiki
The origins of Reiki can be traced back to Mikao Usui, who rediscovered this ancient method of healing in the early 1900s. Usui was a scholar and a spiritual seeker who dedicated many years to studying ancient texts and practices. After a profound experience during a 21-day retreat on Mount Kurama, Usui received the knowledge and power to perform Reiki. He spent the rest of his life teaching and healing, and his practice spread throughout Japan and eventually worldwide.
Types of Reiki
Reiki has evolved over the years, and several different types have emerged, each with its unique approach and techniques. Some of the most well-known types of Reiki include:
- Usui Reiki: The original form of Reiki founded by Mikao Usui. It focuses on hands-on healing and the use of specific symbols to channel energy.
- Karuna Reiki: Developed by William Lee Rand, this type of Reiki incorporates additional symbols and techniques to enhance healing and compassion.
- Jikiden Reiki: A traditional form of Reiki that aims to preserve the original teachings and methods of Mikao Usui.
- Kundalini Reiki: Focuses on awakening the Kundalini energy at the base of the spine and channeling it throughout the body for healing.
- Holy Fire Reiki: Introduced by William Lee Rand, this type of Reiki emphasizes purification, empowerment, and healing on a spiritual level.
Reiki Healing Definition
Reiki is a healing practice where the practitioner channels this universal energy into the patient by means of touch to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.
The Comprehensive Benefits of Reiki Healing
Reiki goes beyond the confines of traditional healing by impacting the body, mind, and soul. Here are some key benefits:
1. Promotes Peace and Relaxation
Reiki assists in reducing stress and tension by delivering a deep state of relaxation, where people report feelings of peace and serenity. Practitioners often use Reiki healing music to enhance this tranquil experience, guiding recipients into a deeper state of calm.
2. Enhances Physical Healing
By improving the flow of energy around the body, Reiki can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness. Reiki healing practice often complements medical treatment and other therapies beautifully.
3. Emotional and Spiritual Growth
Reiki addresses not only physical ailments but also emotional and spiritual pain. It can help you overcome emotional blockages, enhance spiritual equilibrium, and foster an overall sense of well-being.
4. Balances Body’s Energies
The practice of Reiki can help balance the body's chakras, or energy centers. Reiki healing chakras involve channeling energy to these specific points on the body to enhance the flow of energy and assist in opening blocked chakras.
5. Distance Healing
Reiki can be effectively performed from a distance, known as 'reiki healing from a distance.' This practice allows the Reiki practitioner to send healing energy across time and space, providing healing to individuals who are not physically present.
Reiki Healing Practice: How It Works
Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. During a Reiki session, you will lie fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above your body, using specific Reiki symbols and intending to channel energy.
Incorporating Reiki Healing Crystals
Some practitioners also incorporate the use of Reiki healing crystals which are believed to amplify the healing energy. Each crystal has specific properties which can enhance particular types of healing.

Free Meditation Practice for Self-Reiki
While professional Reiki sessions are invaluable, incorporating Reiki principles into daily meditation can also be beneficial. Here’s a simple meditation technique to help you harness Reiki’s healing power:
- Find a Quiet Place: Sit or lie down in a quiet, comfortable space.
- Invoke Reiki Energy: Place your hands together, rub them to generate heat, and then place them over your heart. Visualize the Reiki symbols and imagine drawing in universal energy.
- Set Your Intention: Focus on what you want to heal or release — be it stress, physical pain, or emotional blockages.
- Hand Positions: Move your hands to different parts of your body, intuitively guiding them to where healing is needed.
- Visualize the Flow of Energy: With each breath, visualize healing energy flowing through your body, soothing pains, and calming the mind.
- Close the Session: Finish by thanking the universal energy for the healing and gently bring yourself back to the present.
