What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. Reiki comes from the Japanese words “rei,” which means universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. Energy medicine is said to remove energy blockages and encourage the flow of energy. Particularly, it balances and heals the 7 chakras.

Chakra Balancing is a form of aligning the body's energy centres. There are seven Chakras: Crown Chakra, Brow Chakra, Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Sacral Chakra, and Root Chakra. Balancing your energy centres helps the flow of energy align through your physical body. Each chakra is correlated with different parts of the body.

Without the free flowing of these energy centres, it can cause energy blockages that may cause negative emotions or physical pain. For example, the Heart Chakra is strongly linked to healing, accepting love, giving love, or forgiveness. When this energy centre is blocked, it can cause things like lack of self-love or despair.

Some benefits of balancing your chakras may include: overcoming challenges quicker, feeling calmer, feeling confident, having more energy, generating more positive energy, and generally feeling good about yourself and your life.

Reiki was founded by Mikao Usui. The scientific community has proven that the field of energy surrounds us at all times. The Reiki practitioner channels this beautiful universal life force energy and transfers it to their client.

Reiki can be done in person or as distance healing. In reality, every single person has the ability to channel reiki, but not everyone may have the tools or knowledge to use it.

One of the most powerful and wonderful things about Reiki is that it is not limited by time or space. Reiki attunements can be performed on anyone, anything, or time (past, present, future).
