WHAT REIKI CAN DO FOR YOU
Reiki supports and enhances the body's own natural healing processes by working to bring balance of body/mind/spirit, and increasing the opportunity for wellness. You may have heard of the word "chi" that is used in acupuncture and the Chinese Martial Arts. The "ki" of Reiki is the Japanese equivalent of "chi". Blockages or imbalances in "ki" can have a negative effect in many ways.
There are many ways in which energy blocks and imbalance can cause illness or prevent a person from living a balanced life. Stress alone can cause imbalance, and left unresolved can lead to physical symptoms and/or emotional discomfort. Reiki works to decrease or eliminate such imbalances and blockages. It releases stress from the body, mind and spirit, thus promoting relaxation and harmony of our systems.
Reiki works with the underlying causes, not just the symptoms. Many illnesses manifest first in what is referred to as the subtle bodies which are the energy bodies that surround a person's physical being. Those subtle bodies make up what is commonly called the aura, something that people were once quite skeptical about, but which has now been scientifically demonstrated numerous times. If you have heard of the concept of personal space, it really involves these subtle energy bodies. A person's physical body is the last to respond to thoughts or emotions. Reiki not only works with the physical body, it also works with the subtle energy bodies in order to promote healing and to prevent dis-ease.
Among other things, Reiki can:
- Support the body's natural ability to heal itself
When we are relaxed and stress-free, we are able to
restore our natural ability to heal.
- Strengthen the immune system
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Relieve pain in muscles, joints and other body systems
- Lower heart rate
- Facilitate relief of chemotherapy and radiation side effects
- Calm the nervous system, enhancing a sense of peace
and revitalizing the body
- Clear energy blockages and detoxify the system
through deep relaxation.
