Reiki Therapy

The experience of Reiki is subjective, changeable, and sometimes very subtle. People often experience heat in the practitioner’s hands, but sometimes the practitioner’s hands feel refreshingly cool. Other common experiences are subtle pulsations where the practitioner’s hands are placed or cascading waves of pulsations throughout the body.

People often comment how comforting they find the experience of Reiki to be. An interesting study reported that recipients frequently feel that they are hovering in a threshold state of consciousness, simultaneously aware of their surroundings and deeply indrawn. Some people fall into a deep, sleeplike meditative state. Sometimes the experience of Reiki is dramatic, while for other people, the first session in particular may be uneventful, although they feel somehow better afterward. The most common experience is an almost immediate release of stress and a feeling of deep relaxation.

Reiki is cumulative and even people who don’t notice much the first time usually have progressively deeper experiences if they continue. Besides the immediate experience of the Reiki, you may notice other changes that continue to unfold as the day goes on: perhaps stronger digestion, a sense of being more centered and poised and less reactive, and sleeping deeply that night.

Reiki is for everybody. It is for all stages of life from pregnancy, infancy, and babies to the elderly and everything in between. When the body and mind are relaxed, the body can work to repair and heal and the mind may function with more clarity. Thus, Reiki may assist the body in creating an environment to felicitate healing. There are many conditions that Reiki may help with. Reiki is a great tool to use as a compliment to traditional medicine and is practiced in many hospitals and medical care settings in addition to private practices. Many people utilize Reiki as part of their wellness plan to be their best.
