Reiki is a holistic body-spirit healing practice that induces an energetic transfer between the Reiki practitioner and the person being worked on. By recognizing energetic blocks and releasing them, the practitioner clears the natural flow of energy, restoring a higher level of balance and healing.
Reiki Is A Centuries-Old Healing Practice
Reiki is a form of energy healing. While Reiki is often thought of as a form of massage, it is very different in scope and purpose. The Reiki Massage therapist sets out to heal emotional trauma.
Reiki massage is not dominated by physical pressure or manipulation—just the opposite. Reiki practitioners lightly touch the patient and deal primarily with the person’s energetic body.
While most western medical doctors cast doubt on the medicinal value of Reiki or even how it works, Reiki therapy has had measurable and profound health benefits for many people. Reiki’s health benefits include:
- reducing stress and anxiety
- lowering blood pressure
- improving sleep
- reducing physical pain
- relieving emotional pain
- improving overall wellbeing
Differences between Reiki and conventional massage therapy
Different types of massage have different therapeutic goals and benefits. Today, professional massage therapists are mostly known for reducing physical and mental stress to produce a state of deep relaxation.
Massage therapy has also successfully treated physical problems such as nerve injury and neck and back strains. Many conventional massage therapists are learning to integrate Reiki into their massage practice.
Reiki therapy is a centuries-old healing practice
The Japanese healing art of Reiki is an ancient and holistic therapy with energy-healing properties. Reiki massage focuses on a person’s emotional and spiritual states. In this way, the reiki practitioner is more of a traditional healer.
Reiki therapy does not physically work on muscles or bodily tissue. Instead, it works on the energetic field surrounding the person opening up the body’s subatomic channels, sometimes referred to as chakras.
The practice of Reiki is a holistic and therapeutic method that focuses on working with our vital life energy known as CHI. The therapy is beneficial when our vital energy has been drained from the body, which usually results from emotional trauma. When our vital energy is drained, our physical and emotional states can become seriously compromised, manifesting in different forms of physical and emotional illnesses and maladies.
In practicing Reiki, the therapist and client receive and give energy. Ideally, when an experienced and gifted practitioner can infuse the client with an active current of loving-kindness, it often carries profound healing properties.
Price and duration of Reiki sessions
The vast majority of Reiki therapists offer sessions that last 45 minutes to 90 minutes. The price of a Reiki session depends on your geographic location, the session length, and the experience and reputation of the Reiki practitioner. The fees can vary widely between $65 and $100 per session.
Consider consulting with an experienced Reiki therapist for more information on energetic healing.
