Reiki Healing

Reiki healing is the usage of spiritual energy to heal a person's aura or physical situation. Reiki actually translates to "Universal Life Force Energy." Reiki and massage are two separate things; massage is the process of rubbing or kneading different parts of the body for therapeutic reasons or purposes. Reiki in itself does not involve any physical contact. Therapists who are trained in Reiki will combine the two practices for optimal results in therapy. Licensed therapists often take Reiki classes in order to learn how to use the energy to promote spiritual well-being as well as physical well-being in their treatments.

The usual treatment of Reiki massage begins at the head and works its way through the seven different chakras. The hand placements coincide with the seven major chakras or energy centers of the physical body.

Reiki Healing is used to help patients manage pain (similar to regular massage) however, differs because the practitioner does not knead or manipulate the tissues or muscles of the patient. Instead, the hands of the practitioner remain still, and the energy of healing is sent through the channels of the practitioner into the patient. It is not necessary for there to be skin-to-skin contact.

Reiki is used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, tension, stress, injury healing, pain management and over 60 other medical ailments. There are seven different areas or chakras of the body used to treat different ailments and illnesses in the body.

Reiki treatments are said to be one hundred percent safe; they do not incur any side effects or injuries. There are sensations that are felt, but they are different for different people. Some people experience a sensation of warmth or tingling. Others experience a spirit of relaxation and balance. Depending on the patient, Reiki treatments have been known to show results immediately or over a period of extended time.
