Reiki Healing 101

One of the services we are proud to offer at Light Dynamics Healing is Reiki Healing. But just what does this mean?
Reiki is a Japanese spiritual healing practice that was developed by a Buddhist named Mikao Usui in 1922. Using the concept of “healing hands”, practitioners transfer universal qi energy via the palms to facilitate relaxation and self-healing. The term comes from two Japanese words: “rei” which means “God’s Wisdom” or “Higher Power”, and “ki” which means “life force energy. Thus “reiki” translates as “spiritually guided life force energy”.
Reiki healing is based on the concept that life force energy (or qi) flows through all living things. If one’s life force energy is low or blocked, illness and stress will result. A strong flow of qi will allow the person to experience wellness, happiness, and good health.
Reiki is a subtle energy from the Universe (or Higher Power). It enters the practitioner at their head and flows through them and out of the hands and into the client.
What does Reiki Healing feel like? A treatment feels like a flow of glowing, radiant energy throughout and around the body, imbibing the client with a feeling of peace, relaxation, wellbeing, and security. The body, mind, emotions and spirit are healed holistically. Deep relaxation is felt and negative feelings evaporate.
Though it is spiritual in nature, Reiki is not a religion. It can be accessed and used regardless of one’s religious belief system or spiritual development. Mikao Usui devised a series of Ideals to exist alongside the practice of Reiki; these were designed to add spiritual balance. The Ideals include not holding onto anger, not worrying, being filled with gratitude, kindness, and a devotion to good deeds.
The requirement of the client to consciously choose to improve spiritually is of paramount importance for lasting results; and the client must actively choose to be responsible for their own healing.
Reiki is simple, safe, and one hundred percent natural. Every known malady can be treated with this energetic form of healing and there are reports of amazing results in many clients. Conditions treated successfully include headache, tension, anxiety, viral infections, and even serious conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Reiki can be used alongside other treatment modalities, and can be beneficial in reducing side effects from such treatments as chemotherapy, and for post operative pain. The most common result from reiki is stress reduction and an improved outlook.
Reiki Healing is safe and beneficial to anyone – babies, children, the elderly, pregnant women; the physically healthy as well as patients with terminal cancer and other life threatening conditions. Even animals and plants can benefit from receiving this life force healing energy.
We will later look more in-depth at the practice of Reiki. In the meantime, why not try Reiki today – for a medical, emotional, or spiritual boost. You will feel relaxed and positive – and much, much better for it.
