Reiki energy healing originated in Japan and was founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. The story begins when Dr. Usui embarked on a 21-day meditation retreat on Mount Kurama, seeking spiritual insight and healing. During his time on the mountain, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening that revealed the principles of Reiki, a form of energy healing that taps into the universal life force. This healing energy, known as "Reiki" (Rei meaning "universal" and Ki meaning "life energy"), was believed to be accessible to all and capable of restoring harmony and balance to the body, mind, and spirit.

Today, Reiki has spread worldwide and is used by practitioners to promote healing on a holistic level, addressing not just physical ailments but also emotional and spiritual imbalances.

What Is Reiki Energy Healing?

....................

Reiki energy healing is a spiritual practice that allows individuals to access the universal life force energy for healing and alignment. The healing occurs on a soul and spiritual level, helping to restore balance within a person’s energy field. As a Reiki practitioner, I serve as a conduit for this healing energy, helping the client receive what they need at that moment. My role is not to direct the healing but to hold space for the energy to flow, and for the client to experience the healing that is most beneficial for them.

Reiki energy is intelligent; it goes where it is most needed, addressing the root causes of imbalances and promoting overall well-being.

"The journey to healing is a courageous path, embracing vulnerability allows us to connect deeply with others, fostering resilience and a renewed sense of purpose." 

-Jennifer Caines

How Is Reiki Energy Healing Performed?

....................

In-Person:

During a one-on-one session, I place my hands either on or just above the client’s body, channelling healing energy to specific areas that need attention.

Distance Healing: 

Reiki is not limited by time or space. It can be sent across distances, making it possible to perform healing for individuals who are not physically present. This method works by focusing on the recipient’s energy field, allowing healing to take place wherever they are.

Environmental Healing:

Reiki can also be sent to spaces, such as homes or work environments, cleansing and balancing the energy within them.

How Does Reiki Energy Healing Help?

Reiki helps by addressing deep-seated emotional, mental, and physical imbalances. When we suppress emotions, these unresolved feelings get stored in our energetic (or ethereal) body, which can eventually manifest as physical pain or disease. As we continue to suppress emotions, layers of trauma accumulate, creating blockages in our energy flow.

Reiki healing works by peeling back these layers, one by one. It brings unresolved emotions and trauma to the surface, allowing for healing at the core level. By releasing these blockages, Reiki helps restore harmony and balance within the body, mind, and spirit, promoting a sense of peace, well-being, and physical health.

What Are Chakras?

....................

Chakras are the body’s main energy centers, responsible for regulating the flow of energy through our system. There are seven main chakras, each corresponding to specific areas of the body and influencing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Although chakras are part of our spiritual body and are not visible to the naked eye, their effects are felt deeply in our day-to-day lives.

The 7 Main Chakras?

....................

1. Crown Chakra: Located at the top of the head, this chakra connects us to higher consciousness and spiritual wisdom.

2. Third Eye Chakra: Positioned between the eyebrows, it governs intuition, insight, and psychic abilities.

3. Throat Chakra: Located at the throat, it influences communication and self-expression.

4. Heart Chakra: Found at the centre of the chest, it governs love, compassion, and emotional balance. 

5. Solar Plexus Chakra: Situated in the upper abdomen, this chakra relates to personal power, confidence, and self-esteem.

6. Sacral Chakra: Located just below the navel, it governs creativity, sexuality, and emotional well-being.

7. Root Chakra: Positioned at the base of the spine, it connects us to feelings of safety, security, and stability.

When one or more chakras become blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to emotional, physical, or spiritual discomfort. Reiki helps to clear and align these energy centers, restoring balance and vitality.
