Reiki ~ How Does It Work

Reiki is a form of therapy that uses simple hands-on and  no-touch techniques with the goal of improving the flow of life energy in a person. Reiki practitioners are not healers but are channels of this life energy.

The practitioner creates intention or presence in this process. They surrender to the energy supply once they have tapped into it and direct it towards the receiver. The energy goes where it is most needed producing the greatest benefit for the receiver by accelerating the body’s ability to heal physical and mental ailments.

The energy adjusts itself according to the recipients needs loosening up blockages, balancing energies, promoting a state of relaxation. This in turn helps re-establish spiritual equilibrium and mental well-being.

The energy flows through the practitioner's hands whenever the hands are placed on, or held near a potential recipient, who can be clothed. The recipient often feels warmth or tingling in the area being treated, even when a non-touching approach is being used.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include deep relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being although strong emotional releases can also occur.

As the Reiki treatment is stimulating natural healing processes, instantaneous cures of specific health problems are not usually observed but are possible when the recipient is able to let go and surrender completely to the process. Many have reported miraculous results.
