Reiki healing is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "rei," which means "universal," and "ki," which means "life energy" or "vital energy." Reiki practitioners believe that there is a universal life energy that flows through all living beings, and when this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalances or illness. During a Reiki session, the practitioner uses their hands to channel this life energy to the recipient, either by placing their hands lightly on or just above the recipient's body. The intention is to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. The recipient may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or relaxation during the session. Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatment, and many people find it beneficial for reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and supporting overall well-being.
