Reiki: What is it and how does it heal?

Sally Cacic
Usui Reiki Practitioner

As the western world has become more open to a variety of alternative healing methods, there are several modalities that have gained exceptional acclaim; one of those being Reiki. 

But what is Reiki exactly? Derived from two Japanese words, "ei" meaning Universal Spirit and "ki" meaning life force energy, Reiki is a non-invasive healing system that uses the touch of hands as channels for energy (ki), guided by the Universal Spirit (Rei) to allow a flow of energy from a limitless source (God Force) to the patient via the practitioner. Reiki works with the Higher Self to promote health and well-being of the entire physical, emotional and psychic body; a system for attaining and promoting wholeness of Mind, Body, Spirit.

For this reason, when combined with the powerful healing vibrations of various crystals, these sessions are an extremely powerful and gentle energy healing practice. A method that at least one of our in-house Reiki practitioners is a particular fan of.

Reiki is an extremely relaxing treatment and may leave you feeling very light after your treatment. It can assist you with dissolving energy blocks and promoting natural balance, increasing energy levels, releasing stress and tension in the body, clearing the mind and improving focus, accelerating your body’s natural healing ability, sleep, reducing blood pressure, relieving pain, cleansing and detoxing, supporting your immune system, aiding in spiritual growth and emotional cleansing, promoting creativity, lifting depression, improving self-esteem and will compliment any medical treatment you are already having.
