Reiki: An Introduction to Energy Healing

Reiki is a form of energy healing

that has been practiced for thousands of years. It originated in Japan in the early 20th century and has since spread around the world, becoming a popular form of complementary therapy. Reiki is based on the idea that the body has a natural energy field that can be balanced and restored to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

What is Reiki and How Does it Work?

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of healing that involves the transfer of energy from the practitioner's hands to the recipient. This energy is believed to promote healing and balance in the body's energy field. Reiki is performed by a practitioner placing their hands on or near the recipient's body, with the intention of channeling energy to specific areas in need of healing. This energy transfer can help to soothe the body and mind, reducing stress and promoting a sense of peace and calm.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki has a wide range of benefits for both physical and mental health. Some of the most common benefits include:

• Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
• Improving sleep
