Reiki originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Universal life energy or Rei Ki is based on the idea that there is a life force that flows through all living things. This energy when applied through a person can be delivered to individuals that are seeking feelings of overall well being or a cure. A man by the name of Mikao Usui who was a Japanese Buddhist sought to create a method of healing that as available to everyone. After meditating for many years he received the ability to channel healing energy. He taught this technique to others and it became a popular healing modality all over the world including here in the USA.
Reiki can seem very simple you lay on a table and have another person place their hands on you body. Hoovering over all parts of your body seemingly with an invisible ray penetrating your being. The client lies fully clothed and the reiki practitioner stands over the client. Does that sound science fiction? It is not reiki has proven benefits like stress reduction, pain relief, emotional health, enhanced recovery, improved sleep, spiritual and person al progress and many other ailments. The effects and benefits remain present for a long time but fade with your own process of creating blocks. Sometimes there are feelings of extreme tranquility, peace, disorientation, lustfulness, and thirst. Yes, reiki can help with your sex life as well.
While there aren’t scientific metrics one can draw on for proof of the effects of reiki energy work. There have been countless testimonials on the health effects of reiki. People from all walks of life speak on reiki treatments saving lives, lifting burdens, curing, and healing. When we stress, overthink, feel hurt, or decide wrong we create blockages in our being. These do not get released immediately but through motion, positive thinking, healthy decision making, good social connection and a healthy lifestyle they lessen. Not until we begin to feel some discomfort in parts of our bodies do we realize that we need a therapy to help with the mitigating of our these blocks we created. During changes or challenges we cope sometimes by creating these blocks and it can make up our personality. Reiki helps to shift positive change and uplifts these blockages so you can feel light and able to make positive changes.
Reiki is a universal holistic practice that does receive some criticism from religious institutions. First religion denies that reiki is something that is recommended, Healing modalities are not something of debate and their consequences or changes in life plans shouldn’t be either. The positive impact on peoples life is too good for reiki not to be a mainstream method of healing, a serious profession, and a lifestyle. Sticking to something that doesn’t work like our bad habits just doesn’t work.
