What is Energy Healing? What is Reiki?

Energy healing is a concept that spans across various ancient cultures around the world. For instance, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, practices like acupuncture and qigong are used to balance the Qi, or energy flow, within the body. In India, the ancient system of Ayurveda focuses on balancing different types of energy centers known as doshas. And Native American healing practices also incorporate energy healing through herbs, rituals, and spiritual practices. These historical practices have all shaped the diverse energy healing techniques available today.

Energy Healing is an all-encompassing practice that is designed to restore balance and wellness by addressing the body's energy field. The concept that our well-being is linked to the flow of energy in our bodies is at the root of all energy healing modalities. If there is a blockage or imbalance, eventually it will lead to physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual issues. Techniques like Reiki, Accupuncture and Crystal Healing are used by energy healers to balance and recalibrate these energies. The goal is to bolster the body's own innate healing capabilities and enhance overall health and vitality.

Reiki is an energy healing technique from Japan that involves channelling universal life force energy or Ki/Prana/Holy Spirit/Qi through the practitioners hands to the recipient, with the goal of fostering emotional, mental, physical and spiritual healing. Reiki operates on the principle that we all have an underlying universal life force energy that keeps us vibrant and healthy. When this energy is low, one might experience more illness or stress, but when it is abundant, it contributes to happiness and good health. Reiki is commonly integrated with other holistic modalities to nurture a state of relaxation and overall wellness such as massage. However, many are realizing the potential Reiki and other energy healing modalities have to help balance the stresses of modern day life.

Reiki can be used for a variety of reasons: relaxation, illness, pregnancy, birth, death, any and all life stages, for humans, animals, plants, your past, your future and anything else your mind can think of. Reiki is only limited by your imagination. Whatever you are needing, Reiki can help.
