Reiki
Reiki is an alternative healing method that was created in 1922, by a Buddhist from Japan, by the name of Mikao Usui. Reiki draws its healing power from the “universal energy”, the practitioner being a sort of open channel through which energy comes and flows from the universe toward the patient. The hands of the Reiki practitioner are the tools used during therapy, more precisely the palms, this is why Reiki is considered a hands-on healing method.
Many people say they find relief in this alternative healing method and through it are able to avoid the use of traditional drugs. According to the theory behind Reiki, energy flows through every person, being that which gives us life. When the level of energy lowers, we start experiencing stress and are more prone to becoming ill. Thus, through Reiki, the energy levels of a person are restored, giving the body the support it needs to heal and resume its previous state of health. If we are to take the word Reiki and look at its meaning, Rei could be translated as “higher power” or “higher wisdom” coming from God and Ki, which is a word for the “energy force of life”. So the energy used by Reiki is in close connection with God, with spirituality, as God is the source of this healing energy and the Reiki practitioner being the intermittent that makes this energy available to everyone.
What does it feel like to go through a Reiki session of healing?
