“Reiki can never and will never belong to just one person or one organisation. Reiki is the spiritual heritage of all of humanity”.
Energy healing modalities such as Reiki, Healing Touch are based on the belief that imbalances or blockages in this energy system can lead to physical, emotional, and mental health problems. The primary goal of energy healing is to identify and remove these blockages, allowing energy to flow freely and restore balance to the body's energy system.
Energy healers use a variety of techniques such as visualization, intention setting, laying on of hands, or distance healing to balance, clear, and energize the body's energy field. They may work on specific areas of the body or focus on specific conditions or issues.
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that was developed in the early 20th century by a Buddhist Monk named “Mikao Usui”. The word "Reiki" is made up of two Japanese words - "Rei," which means universal, and "Ki," which means life force energy. Reiki practitioners believe that this energy flows through all living things and that blockages or imbalances in this energy can lead to physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
During a Reiki session, the recipient lies down fully clothed while the practitioner places their hands on or near the body in a series of hand positions. The practitioner channels Reiki energy through their hands into the recipient's body, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and balancing the body's energy system.
Reiki is considered a non-invasive, gentle healing technique that can be used to support conventional medical treatments or as a standalone therapy. It is often used to promote relaxation, reduce pain, and improve overall wellbeing. While there is limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness, many people report feeling more relaxed, less anxious, and experiencing less pain after receiving Reiki sessions.
Healing Touch is a type of energy therapy that is based on the concept that the human body has an energy field that can be influenced and manipulated to promote healing. It involves the use of gentle touch or non-touch techniques to balance and restore the energy field, which in turn can have a positive effect on physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Practitioners of Healing Touch believe that illness and disease are caused by imbalances or blockages in the energy field, and that by working with the energy field, these imbalances can be corrected, allowing the body to heal itself. Healing Touch has been used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic illness. It is generally considered safe and is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments.
However, it is important to note that Healing Touch should not be used as a substitute for medical care, and anyone with a serious medical condition should always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional.
