What is REIKI ? And does it really work ?

Come we will take you through the whole concept of Reiki Healing.

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.

Mikao Usui developed Usui Reiki Ryoho, the most current form of Reiki, in 1922. However, people have practiced Reiki for about 2,500 years.

Some Reiki techniques

The techniques that Reiki involves have names such as:

• centering

• clearing

• beaming

• extracting harmful energies

• infusing

• smoothing and raking the aura

Some Reiki practitioners will use crystals and chakra healing wands to enable healing or protect a home from negative energy.Sessions can last 45–90 minutes. The number of sessions will vary, depending on what a client wishes to accomplish. Some clients prefer to have one session, while others have a series of sessions to work on a particular issue.

Health benefits

According to practitioners, Reiki channels universal energy known as ki, pronounced “chi.” This is the same energy involved in tai chi exercise.

This energy supposedly permeates the body. Reiki experts point out that although this energy is not measurable with modern scientific techniques, many who tune into it can feel it.

Reiki allegedly aids relaxation, assists in the body’s natural healing processes, and develops emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. However, no studies have conclusively shown this to be true.

Some anecdotal evidence suggests that it may induce deep relaxation, help people cope with difficulties, relieve emotional stress, and improve overall well-being.

Conditions that people have used Reiki to help treat include:

• cancer

• heart disease

• anxiety

• depression

• chronic pain

• infertility

• neurodegenerative disorders

• autism

• Crohn’s disease

• fatigue

NOTE – Reiki should never take the place of medical treatments

Becoming a Reiki practitioner

No prior training, education, or experience is necessary to enter the Reiki training or “attunement process.”

In this process, the Reiki master reportedly transfers the attunement energy and healing techniques to the student.

Reiki training varies, but most students learn about:

• the energies around the body

• how to work with healing energy

• the ethics of working with clients

Preparation for attunement may include avoiding alcohol and caffeine for 1–3 days, meditation, focusing on nature, and releasing negative emotions.

There are three levels of mastery. Those who reach “Master” level can teach others and can reportedly heal from a distance

Reiki’s healing power: What is the evidence?

Although Reiki is growing in popularity, there is little evidence that it provides any clinical benefit.

Practitioners claim that Reiki can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and improve some symptoms. However, few research findings support any specific health benefits.

Critics say that it flies in the face of our current understanding of the laws of nature. However, some limited studiesTrusted Source have drawn links between Reiki and a reduction in feelings of pain and anxiety.Scientists note that high quality research into its effectiveness is lacking. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative HealthTrusted Source, no study has shown Reiki to have any health-related benefit.More recently, Annie Harrington told MNT that the U.K. Reiki Federation currently has a “large document cataloging many research trials.”

Is Reiki harmful?

Due to the non-contact nature of Reiki, this treatment is not harmfulTrusted Source.

However, Reiki could lead to harm if people with serious health issues opt for this therapy and other complementary therapies instead of rigorously tested modern medicine.
