Reiki Healing

Realign your mind and body.  Reiki is warm, relaxing, and transformative.  It is a powerful alchemical medicine that frees your body to heal itself as it was intended.  

During a session the client will lay on a massage table, fully clothed and relaxed. Many people feel the flow of reiki differently, some common sensations include warmth, light pressure, tingling, seeing colors, and an overall feeling of calm.  Memories or emotions may surface in the healing process and reiki aims to release traumas stored in the physical body leaving the body in its healed state.  Our bodies are made of energy that flow through us in meridians and chakra points as well as around us in our etheric body and aura. When we become ill, suffer from a physical injury or even an emotional trauma it disturbs the vibration and flow of energy. Many times illness will first present itself in the energy field before physically manifesting in the body.  When one receives reiki, the goal is to ensure energy is properly flowing through the entire body in a harmonized state and also help speed the healing process of physical injuries by harmonizing the vibration of energy in that area. 

Reiki works by tapping into the human body’s electrical and magnetic fields. Our heartbeat is regulated by an electrical field that can be measured by an ECG or EKG, our brain produces a lower-level electrical field, and every cell in our body creates small amounts of electricity which contribute to a magnetic field, due to the positive and negative charges of the outer and inner cell walls. When you go to get an MRI scan, the internal mechanism producing the images of soft tissue is your body’s magnetic field (Thrane & Cohen, 2014). 

Reiki has also been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, provide relief of acute and chronic pain which can often be the root cause of mental and emotional illness, reduce blood pressure and detoxify the body.  

McManus (2017) synthesized the findings of various studies on the effectiveness of Reiki compared to placebo treatment, and came to a few conclusions:

  • Reiki is a complementary therapy that is safe and gentle enough for fragile clients, illustrating its benefits in hospitals and hospice settings. 

  • 5 studies showed evidence that Reiki is better than placebo for inducing a physically relaxed state. Physiologically, Reiki reduces resting heart rate, increases heart rate variability, and lowers blood pressure. 

  • 3 studies provided evidence that Reiki can help people manage chronic conditions, as weekly Reiki sessions for up to 8 weeks resulted in reduced anxiety/depression and increased self-esteem and quality of life. 

Charkhandeh, Talib, and Hunt (2016) conducted a study on Iranian adolescents to assess the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) versus Reiki on mental health outcomes, and concluded that both treatments effectively improved depression scores. While CBT had a significantly larger treatment effect than Reiki, the authors urge practitioners to value the way Reiki enhances treatment outcomes, and highlights that Reiki could serve as an effective intervention for individuals who may not seek out CBT or other mental health therapies. 

After a reiki session most people feel very relaxed. You may feel as though you have just taken a nap or had a massage. Some may feel momentarily drowsy while some feel energized and you should be able to go about your normal day. It can be helpful to take a warm bath with Epsom salts to aid the body in detoxifying.
