Description
Reiki, a traditional Japanese form of alternative therapy, is often described as energy healing. This practice revolves around the concept of transferring universal energy from the practitioner's palms directly to the patient. The term "Reiki" itself is derived from two Japanese words - "Rei," which means "Universal," and "Ki," which is "life energy."
Origins and Philosophy
Reiki's origins trace back to the early 20th century in Japan, with its development credited to Mikao Usui. Since its inception, Reiki has been influenced by both Eastern and Western healing approaches. It operates on the belief that each individual possesses an energy force that contributes to their overall health and vitality. When this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance.
Practice and Techniques
A typical Reiki session involves the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the client's clothed body, focusing on areas that correspond to different chakras or energy centres. The practitioner channels energy into the patient's body, often resulting in a feeling of warmth, relaxation, and well-being. It's a non-invasive therapy that does not involve massage or manipulation of muscles.
