In the pursuit of balance and wellness, Reiki has become one of the most effective and popular holistic therapies worldwide. This ancient Japanese technique channels universal energy through the therapist’s hands toward the patient, promoting healing on all levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese terms: “Rei”, meaning “universal energy,” and “Ki”, referring to the vital life force that flows through all living beings. Together, they describe Reiki as an energy transmission therapy that seeks to restore the natural and harmonious flow of this vital force.
At Spa Natural Center, we specialize in offering both personalized and group Reiki sessions, designed for those seeking stress relief, emotional release, or simply a reconnection with their deepest essence.
How does Reiki work and what are its principles?
Reiki works through the laying on of hands, where the therapist acts as a channel for the flow of universal energy. This energy naturally directs itself to the areas of the body or energy field that need healing.
The practice of Reiki is guided by five fundamental principles passed down by its founder, Mikao Usui, encouraging a harmonious way of living:
- Just for today, do not anger.
- Just for today, do not worry.
- Be grateful.
- Work diligently and honestly.
- Be kind to others and all living things.
These principles not only guide the session but also inspire a more conscious and balanced way of life.
Benefits of Reiki for health and well-being
Reiki is widely known for offering multiple benefits that positively impact overall wellness:
- Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Sessions induce a deep state of relaxation, promoting mental calm and easing tension.
- Physical Pain Relief: It is used as a complementary therapy to help alleviate muscle pain, migraines, arthritis, and other chronic conditions.
- Mood Improvement: Reiki helps release suppressed emotions, creating a feeling of lightness and emotional well-being.
- Immune System Boost: By balancing vital energy, Reiki strengthens the body’s natural healing and defense capabilities.
- Enhanced Mental and Spiritual Clarity: Many patients report feeling more centered, with clear thoughts and a deeper connection to themselves.
What happens during a Reiki session?
Each Reiki session takes place in a peaceful and respectful environment. The patient remains fully clothed and lies comfortably while the therapist gently places their hands over various areas of the body or hovers slightly above.
During the session, it is common to feel warmth, tingling, or a profound sense of peace. Sometimes, emotions or memories may surface, indicating the release of energetic blockages stored in the body.
Reiki and its recognition as a complementary therapy
Reiki has increasingly been accepted as a complementary therapy in hospitals and clinics around the world, especially in areas such as:
- Oncology units, to support conventional treatments.
- Palliative care, providing comfort and relief during difficult stages.
- Stress reduction and pain management programs.
While Reiki does not replace medical treatments, it serves as a valuable complement that contributes to general well-being and improves the quality of life for those who practice it.
Who can receive reiki?
One of Reiki’s greatest virtues is that it has no contraindications or age limits. It can be received by:
- Adults and children
- Pregnant women
- Elderly individuals
- Patients with chronic illnesses
- Animals and plants
All living beings can benefit from the energetic harmony that Reiki provides.
