5 Reasons To Finally Try Reiki
Interested in trying this wonderful healing modality? Let’s talk about a few reasons why you should take the leap. But first, what is Reiki? Simply put, Reiki is an energy healing practice that focuses on channeling and balancing life force energy. During a Reiki session, a practitioner gently places her hands on or above specific areas of the body to facilitate the free flow of energy through the chakra system. The practice is gentle, non-intrusive, and can be highly beneficial for physical, spiritual, and emotional healing. Still on the fence? Here are a few reasons you should try this practice:
To Relax and Restore – While everyone’s experience of Reiki is unique, some of the most common (immediate) effects include stress relief and relaxation. Reiki is a wonderful practice to add to any self-care routine because it brings our awareness inward and helps us restore balance to body, mind, and spirit.
To Recognize Your Own Energy – Looking at you, empaths. One lesser-known benefit of Reiki is that it helps us learn to recognize our own energy. This is incredibly important for maintaining healthy energetic boundaries, because it helps us distinguish ourselves from others. Experiencing Reiki flowing through the chakra system naturally raises your awareness of your own energy as being dynamic and fluid. Once you become acquainted with what your own energy feels like, you can make more conscious decisions to clear yourself of others.
To Release Stuck Energy – When the chakra system is open and flowing freely, it allows us to experience life and relationships without any build-up or blockages. While a number of factors may contribute to a blockage in one or more chakras, it is important to address the root cause when seeking healing. All illness, pain, and stress begins on an energetic level. Thus, Reiki is a wonderful tool for restoring and maintaining a healthy flow to promote wellness.
To Strengthen Psychic Abilities – Yep. This is a natural consequence or raising our vibration and setting the intention to consciously experience energy. Such abilities are not bestowed on the recipient by the practitioner. Rather, they are naturally strengthened with this practice as a reflection of our natural state as spiritual beings. Put another way, healing with light helps us remember that we are pure light, ourselves.
Nothing To Lose – If you’re still on the fence, keep in mind that Reiki cannot cause harm, and that this energy is never sent from the practitioner. He or she simply serves as a channel for the energy to reach the recipient, and Reiki always goes exactly where it is needed. It is also important to note that Reiki is not affiliated with any religions or belief systems. It can be enjoyed by everyone because it belongs to everyone. Nothing is expected of the recipient except a willingness to show up and breathe.
If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of Reiki, I highly encourage you to do your own research. This practice is increasingly recognized as a beneficial complement to traditional medical treatments. In fact, Reiki is currently being employed in many renowned hospitals, such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic.
