Reiki Healing

This world has forever been known to celebrate its ancient body, mind and soul healing techniques where fingers, sometimes, can do the magic that medicines fail to do. This traditional form of medication may not be approved by many today, but then there are many countries across the world that continue to adapt, promote and feel proud of their ancient health techniques. And one among those techniques is Reiki Healing. 

Well, if Reiki healing, as a name, doesn’t sound desi to you, then you are very much right about it. Reiki healing is a form of an energy healing technique that has its origin in Japan. The predominant form of Reiki that the world practice today is called Usui Reiki. It’s an alternative health approach for the human body created by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. This form of body healing technique continues to be very effective even today. Interestingly, millions of people ready to spend their precious time and money to enjoy the benefits of Reiki.

For facts, a Reiki treatment doesn’t cure a human body of diseases or illness. Reiki, instead, manages the general wellbeing and symptoms of illness in a person. It is a way of channelling the flow of universal energy into your body, the benefits of which we would learn about in this blog. 

In very simple words, Reiki is a healing technique that balances the Chakras in the human body. Being a part of Reiki healing offers bliss like no other. People who have been a part of the act share with us the peace and relaxation they receive post-Reiki treatment

Understanding Chakras in the Human body

To better understand how Reiki energy healing can stimulate Chakras in the human body, we first need to understand what are Chakras in the human body? In Sanskrit, the word Chakra stands for ‘Disc’ or ‘Wheel’. These are spots in the human body where energy accumulates. These chakras, when open or stay balanced, allow better functioning of the human body and organs making the same. However, if chakras get blocked, a person may experience physical or emotional strain depending on which chakra is blocked.  

While there is a general belief among some people that there are as many as 114 different chakras in the human body, but usually, only  7 main chakras in the body make the topic of discussion and Reiki healing consultants often deal with only these.   

What are the 7 Chakras In The Human Body?

The seven main chakras in the human body are:

  • Root Chakra – Also known as Muladharam, Root Chakra is located at the base of one’s spine. It helps the person feel grounded and offers them stability in life. 
  • Sacral Chakra –  Also called Svadhisthana, this chakra is present below the belly button of the person. The chakra entwines with a person’s sexual and creative energies.
  • Solar Plexus Chakra – Also known as Manipura, the chakra is located in the stomach area of a human and is responsible for confidence and self-esteem in a human. 
  • Heart Chakra – Anahata or the Heart Chakra sits near the heart. It signifies one’s ability to love and be compassionate towards others. 
  • Throat Chakra – Also called Vishuddha, the Throat Chakra rules over one’s ability to communicate verbally. 
  • Third Eye Chakra – Ajna or Third Eye Chakra is, as the name suggests, located between the eyes. It is linked to the imagination of the person.  
  • Crown Chakra – Last but not least, Crown Chakra or Sahasrara is located at the top of one’s head. The Chakra is responsible for one’s spiritual connection with oneself, others and the universe.

Both Chakra blockage and over-activeness of the same is harmful to one’s body. Chakra blockage simply denotes that a particular chakra is running low on energy. This can lead to difficulty in expressing the qualities associated with that Chakra. Moreover, the dip in energy may also pose danger to the particular organ associated with Chakra. For example: Anahata chakra malefic could pose danger to one’s heart. 

Secondly, over activeness of a Chakra means domination of the same over others, which could lead to mental and physical fatigue, among other problems. Thus, a balance of all the seven chakras need to be maintained and Reiki healing benefits are known to offer the same balance.  

What happens during a Reiki Healing session?

That is a million-dollar question. The word Reiki, being non-desi, could allow many all sorts of pictures about the same. But thankfully it’s no smoke-filled room with incense sticks burning all around. Reiki sessions are very professional and executed by experts. 

A Reiki treatment session can last for as many as 20-90 minutes. Before the session begins, you get to meet the practitioner and have a chat where you tell them about your symptoms and expectations. You also need to tell them about any injuries you have so they can be careful about it. 

Once the chatter is done, the practitioner will ask you to lay down on a table, cover you with a blanket and play some light music so you can relax. Reiki may or may not involve touch. It usually depends on the abilities of the practitioner. Besides hands, Reiki may involve the use of several crystals too. Reiki crystal healing involves the use of Crystals like Topaz, Aquamarine and others. These are either placed around your body or you are asked to hold them. People believe that these crystals attract positive energy and thus enhance the efficiency of the whole session. 

Though the practitioner does not insist you to talk during the session, however, you can always share what you might be feeling to allow the practitioner to have an understanding of what to do next. As the session progresses, you may experience sensations in your body. You might also be inundated with old memories. It’s all part of the act and will eventually help you relax. 

Simply, try to allow whatever arises during the reiki self healing session to pass without attaching too much meaning to it. Your experiences may become deeper the more you continue with reiki. 

What is Distance Reiki Healing?

During the Reiki-healer training, the practitioner learns about three symbols among which one is distance Reiki. The act allows the practitioner to send Reiki healing energy across time and space. It is best for anyone who can’t find a Reiki treatment centre nearby. When Reiki healing is done over the phone, the use of crystals becomes significant. 

Distance Reiki works on the principle of the Hermetic Law of Similarity. The law suggests that we humans, in some way or the other, are connected to each other because we all are made of energies. Using this rule, the Reiki healer invokes a distance session as this allows them to get linked with the energy field of the recipient. A Reiki healing session’s duration depends on the needs of the recipient.

Regardless of the distance involved, Reiki healing can allow an array of benefits to the human, like an increasing feeling of relaxation and happiness. Reiki healing is best for people dealing with mental stress, trauma or pregnant women.

Reiki Healing Benefits   

The term ‘Reiki’ originates from the Japanese words “rei”, meaning ‘universal’ and “ki”, meaning ‘life energy’. There are many benefits of Reiki healing that the world knows about and here are a few of them:

1. Reiki treatment tunes down pain, fatigue and anxiety 

Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, having a Reiki energy healing session can counter fatigue of mind, body and soul. In Japan, Reiki is very popular among tourists for its healing effects. Some of these tourists specifically travel to the county to enjoy the same. A 2015 study found that people dealing with cancer who have been receiving Reiki care alongside regular medical care showed lesser signs of fatigue than the ones who received mere medical care. Though Reiki crystal healing did not show any major impact on one’s blood pressure and pulse rate improvement, however, it did reduce anxiety. Also, there was a betterment in the breathing rate in women 1-2 days after having a cesarean delivery.

2. Reiki unblocks muscles, helps you relax 

Do you ever get up in the morning and your body feels stiff? That’s usally because of the absence of exercising or a mere active lifestyle. Reiki, thankfully, can help you in that area too. Reiki unlocks the flow of energy in one’s body. This, though, doesn’t automatically relax your body, but it does enhance one’s mood. It also counters fear, anger and fills the person with much-needed energy. A 2011 study found that people who had Reiki felt greater mood benefits compared to the ones who didn’t. 

3. Reiki aids good sleep 

This one is one of the most celebrated benefits of Reiki. And we know this because we have seen people nap on the Reiki table during the session. A good nap can automatically lighten your mood and allow you to do things in a better way. Reiki energy healing sessions de-clutters one’s body by removing negative thoughts thus allowing relaxation that feels like heaven-sent. It stores the energies in your body all at the right places to help you sleep, think and heal better.

4. Reiki boosts the overall quality of life

It’s a depressing reality that fewer people care about how they are leading their physical life. And in such a scenario, Reiki sessions turn out more necessary for one’s overall well being. Reiki is a tried and tested method and the benefits of Reiki healing are such that the technique has even improved the quality of life for women with cancer. Women who had Reiki showed improvements to their sleep patterns, self-confidence, and depression levels. They felt a sense of calm, inner peace, and relaxation.

5. Reiki accelerates the body’s self-healing capabilities

Reiki self healing properties balance your internal body levels and bring them to a state of near-natural. This means that physical activities of a body like your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, and other bodily systems will improve. And once the body begins entertaining a normal balance with not much blockage to interrupt, it begins to heal itself from within.
