A Little Light on REIKI & How it can Benefit YOU!

Reiki

Today I am going to be sharing a little insight into what Reiki is and how Reiki can benefit you in your daily life. 

So what is Reiki?

Reiki is a non-intrusive natural form of healing which uses the ancient art of “laying of the hands” to alleviate any form of dis-ease or imbalance in the body, be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.  Reiki is a holistic healing modality, which focuses in the individual as a whole and it does not require any massage or any intrusive techniques to bring about balance.  It is also totally non-contraindicative, meaning that it does not cause any harm and can be used to help alleviate any aliment, dis-ease or imbalance in the body.  It can also be used in conjunction with other healing modalities and modern medicine. Reiki is not only used for helping to alleviate imbalance in the person’s body, mind and spirit, but can also be used to encourage personal and spiritual growth.

The Word Reiki

Going deeper into what Reiki is all about, let us look at what the word Reiki. Reiki is pronounced: “Ray-key” and can be split up into two distinct words namely, “Rei” and “Ki.”

“Rei” is the “Wisdom and Knowledge of the Universe.” In other words, “Rei”, is the wisdom that guides the creation and functioning of the universe. The higher intelligence that is all knowing.

“Ki” is the “Life Force” Some other names for “Ki”, which you may have heard of before are, “Chi” and “Prana”. This life force energy flows through every living thing. It is in you and me, plants, animals and it is even present in crystals and inanimate objects. Without this life force energy there would be no life. When one’s “Ki” is blocked or low, it creates an imbalance, which can manifest as an illness or disease.

Together both “Rei” and “Ki” form Reiki, which means, “Universal Life Force”.

So what can Reiki do for YOU?

You do not need to have some dis-ease or illness in order to benefit from a Reiki. It can benefit anyone and anything. The most wonderful thing about Reiki is that, Reiki goes where Reiki is needed. 

Reiki can be used in the following areas:

·         Individual Reiki Treatment – where the person or animal receives a Reiki Session

·         Distant or Surrogate Reiki Treatment – this is great for people who travel and need some healing or help. It can also be used for people who are very sick and cannot come to receive a Reiki session in person. The session is done with the consent of the individual and the Reiki Practitioner carries out the session using a surrogate.

·     Post Operation/ Trauma – Reiki can also be used after any physical trauma to the body, as it accelerates the body’s natural healing abilities and it can also be used to reduce pain.

·         Clearing Negative Energy – Here Reiki is used to clear any negative energy from a room/ home or object, such as crystals.

·         Children and Babies – Reiki is so gentle and non-evasive that it is even safe for children and babies. Over the years, I have even done work on pregnant women, and the results have been fantastic.

·         Animals – Reiki is even beneficial to our animal kingdom, and like children, animals respond very quickly to Reiki.

·         Spiritual and Personal Development – Reiki helps one access that inner wisdom and connection with your higher self.

Reiki has many health benefits and as you can see it can be used in many areas. 
Here are some of the health benefits that one may receive during a Reiki Treatment:

 ·        Relaxation – ideal for people who need some stress relief

·         Stress Relief

·         Improved overall well-being & health

·         Improved Sleep

·         Pain Relief

·         Reduction in Muscle Tension & Soreness

·         Helps with headaches

·     Aids in releasing past/ present trauma/ blockages from the body, mind and soul & therefore bringing you back into balance.

·        Aids in alleviating any painful or uncomfortable symptoms that are due to an illness and disease. 

The list goes on and on… 

About me

I have been working in the health and wellness industry for about 12 years now. I am a Reiki Master, with an Honours Degree in Psychology and I am presently busy with a Masters in Cognitive Science. Over the years I have completed many courses and diplomas in the complementary health industry, not only to grow myself professionally, but also as part of my own personal growth. My biggest passion in life, besides animals, is people.  I love working with people and helping them through a process of self-discovery, to ultimately switch on that light and be everything they have ever dreamed of and more!  In my practice I have found Reiki to be a powerful tool in accessing this information and aiding people with their journey of self- discovery and healing.  

I also offer Reiki courses for people who would like to become Reiki Practitioners or for their own Spiritual Growth.
