What is Reiki?

Understanding the Basics of This Energy Practice 

Reiki focuses on the energy fields or biofields that surround and permeate the human body. This approach is based on the idea that these energy fields can become imbalanced, leading to physical, emotional, or spiritual problems. As a recognised form of alternative therapy, Reiki as an energy healing technique has been growing in popularity in the UK over recent years and has a long history connected throughout the world.
But what exactly is it, and how does it work? In this blog, we'll explore the basics of Reiki and what you can expect if you decide to try it for yourself.
Reiki is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
Energy therapists like Reiki Practitioners work to identify and release your energy imbalances, allowing the energy to flow freely again. Reiki is a holistic approach to healing and wellness that offers a wide range of benefits :
  • Relaxation: Reiki is known for its ability to promote deep relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety levels. This can help improve your overall sense of well-being and help you feel more calm and centred.
  • Pain relief: Reiki has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and discomfort in a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and menstrual cramps.
  • Improved sleep: Reiki can help promote restful sleep by reducing stress and anxiety levels and helping to calm the mind and body.
  • Boosted immune system: Reiki can help support the immune system by reducing stress and promoting relaxation, which can help the body function more effectively.
  • Emotional healing: Reiki can help release emotional blockages and promote emotional healing and well-being. It can help you feel more centred, balanced, and able to cope with the challenges of daily life.
  • Spiritual growth: Reiki can help you connect with your spiritual self and deepen your understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. It can help you feel more connected to the world around you and more in tune with your inner self.

The Treatment

During a Reiki session, the recipient typically lies down or sat in a chair, fully clothed while the practitioner places their hands near various parts of the body, in varied positions. The recipient may feel sensations such as warmth, tingling, or relaxation, and some people report experiencing emotional or spiritual shifts as well.
Reiki can be learned and practiced by anyone, and there are different levels of training and certification available at Wellness Within.uk .
While Reiki is considered safe, it is important to note that it should not be used as a substitute for medical care or professional advice. If you are interested in trying Reiki, but want to know more please book a free consult with Niki. Alternatively please ensure you seek out a qualified and experienced Reiki or Energy practitioner, and for those with health needs, you can always discuss with your GP or healthcare provider prior to booking a treatment to ensure Reiki is the right treatment for you.
