How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki is an energy healing that works with the energy fields of the body. The healing comes from universal energy transferred from Reiki practitioners to their clients.

Reiki practitioners believe energy stagnates in the body when a person is ill or injured—either emotionally or physically. The blocked energy cause increased illness.

Reiki works by improving the flow of energy, allowing the body to relax. This helps a person with relieve pain, improve healing and reduce symptoms of illness.

What Is A Reiki Session Like?

A Reiki practitioner administers a session. A practitioner is anyone trained in performing the healing Reiki touch and energy.

The practitioner and client can perform a session anywhere that is quiet, and the client can relax. If a family member has Reiki training, he or she can provide healing at home when others are sick and in need of healing during an illness or after an injury.

You can find trained Reiki practitioners in your area, but do your research to ensure to find an experienced practitioner with whom you feel comfortable.
