What Is Reiki?
In the simplest of words, Reiki is a type of energy therapy which involves the transfer of energy, typically with one’s palms placed just above or lightly on the body. In Japanese, the term Reiki refers to a “universal life energy”. The energy fields around the body are targeted during a Reiki therapy session to treat energy that has stagnated in the body.
Supporters of the practice claim that it can treat various conditions including emotional states. Small studies conducted on Reiki found that it helps reduce pain. However, further research is required to find out if it is effective in treating diseases
Health Benefits of Reiki Therapy
According to Reiki practitioners, the healing effects help reinvigorate one’s universal energy. The energy is believed to permeate the body. Although Reiki experts point out that energy cannot be measured using any modern scientific technique, it can be felt by those that tune in to it.
There are many health benefits of Reiki therapy including relaxation and promotion of the natural healing processes of our body. The deep relaxation experienced by people who receive Reiki therapy helps them cope with difficulties and emotional stress for their overall wellbeing.
