Reiki and Energy Healing

What is Reiki and Healing Energy and How Does it Work?

​

Reiki is an energy. The word Reiki means universal.  Rei = universal and Ki = energy.  

What exactly is energy? We refer to energy sources such as wind, coal, gas or electricity.  We think in terms of food as energy for the body.  Energy makes things move or change.  Einstein and quantum physicists have explained that at a subatomic and quantum level everything that exists in the universe is energy.  All energy is vibrating and oscillating at different frequencies.  When something is vibrating at a higher frequency such as sound, light, radio waves, it is invisible.  These are different parts of the electromagnetic field.

​

Human beings are comprised of electromagnetic energy and every cell, tissue and organ in your body is vibrating at a different frequency.  Our thoughts and emotions can affect our biochemical and energy makeup.  Every personal energy output (electromagnetic output) varies depending on many factors.  The average human has a biological frequency output of 250 cycles per second but studies have found that in many healers, those who meditate deeply or engage in certain energy practices have higher rates of output; meaning that they are vibrating at a higher frequency.  Many Reiki practitioners or even some one experiencing a Reiki session are aware of heightened sense because of this.  These could be a clairaudient, clairvoyant or clairsentience experiences. Scientists are now confirming what has been common knowledge in many ancient cultures and proposed by Einstein and other in modern times - it's all energy!

The physical body is something we can see and feel yet every cell in our body is energy or light vibrating slow enough to be visible matter. There are three parts of our energy system: the aura, the chakras and the meridians.  Your auric field is as much a part of you as your physical body. (see the Auras page)  The difference is that it is vibrating at a much higher frequency so it is invisible to most.  Every person has a unique and distinctive energy signature, like an energy "fingerprint".  The aura surrounds the entire physical body like an outer layer of energy.  The chakras (chakra means wheel or vortex) are located over or near major bodily organs. (see the Chakras page)  The meridians are similar to our veins and arteries flowing and help the energy flow and circulate throughout our bodies.  

​

Reiki is a complimentary healing practice which enhances anything you do.  Reiki works in conjunction with all health practices you engage in such as your doctors and health plans, as well as any mental health support.    

​

Reiki is a natural, non-invasive hands-on Japanese healing technique that taps into your energy system to promote peace and relaxation. It's healing works with the energy system in your body and even though you cannot see it, you can "feel" it.  In it's simplest form, Reiki is a stress-reduction technique that promotes healing of the mind, body and spirit.  

​

Reiki means spiritually guided energy.  The practitioner is a channel for that energy and when they work with you, the energy flows to shift things back int what is naturally good for you.
