Frequently Asked Questions about reiki healing

Reiki healing therapy is not a massage. Reiki 

Practitioners use a no-touch or hands slightly above 

the body format with specific hand placements to 

channel the energy and facilitate healing both in the

 energy field or aura and also within the body itself. 

Bringing the body back into homeostasis while 

balancing & healing on all levels of the human body.

Although Reiki is spiritual in origin, as the word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) means spiritually guided universal life energy, as we are all spiritual beings from our creation to our death, where we will return to spirit, it is not required that people practice any religion to enjoy the benefits. Reiki is not a religion and it adheres to no specific spiritual belief system. The healing attributes of Reiki flow whether it is defined as a bio-field energy or as a divine spiritual energy. People from all walks of life and from all belief systems enjoy the healing benefits of Reiki therapy. You do not have to believe that Reiki will work for you in order for it to facilitate it's healing benefits. It works whether you believe it will or not. The only thing that is required is for you to give permission for the  Reiki healing therapy session, then simply sit back and feel the wonderful healing energies flow. 

There is no risk involved. Reiki is a safe, loving & 

healing energy channeled by the Reiki Practitioner.   

This no-touch healing art, a powerful adjunct to conventional therapeutic modalities, fuels the body’s homeostatic mechanisms and thereby assists in the restoration of balance on the physical, mental and emotional levels. Because life-force energy supports 

optimal development and fulfillment, Reiki promotes 

the highest healing good for all living things. 

Through inducing the relaxation response, Reiki 

encourages enhanced integrated functioning of the 

body’s healing systems. Studies show that a deep 

relaxation acts through the autonomic nervous system 

to lower blood pressure and heart rate and to relieve 

tension and anxiety. This state of relaxation also 

augments the abilities of the immune system to defend against illness, and it stimulates the brain’s production of endorphins, natural opiates that act to decrease the perception of pain and create a state of well-being. The stimulation of this response through Reiki treatment, 

coupled with the increased and unimpeded flow of 

life-force energy through the body, encourages healing 

at all levels. The Reiki Practitioner conducts vital energy from the universal energy field into the human energy 

field, where the energy is transmuted into a form that is usable at the cellular level. The vital energy recharges, realigns and re-balances the subtle bodies, bringing harmony and wholeness to all of the recipient’s systems. When the body is in balance, it can heal itself.
