What is Reiki? And what is it for anyway?

Often people use words that we may not have heard before and with more New Age and #Esoteric topics becoming more popular, I thought we could touch briefly on exactly what Reiki is and how it can be of use.

Reiki is a form of energy healing, which works on the basis that everything is energy and as this is something that has already been proven by science it's easier to understand in this way. Everything vibrates at a different frequency, whether it's the chair you're sitting on to your house plant and pet, and that includes us as humans we also vibrate at one frequency or another (which is effected by our moods, but that's for another post).

By having a #Reiki session, the practitioner can help to balance out any negativity or hyperactivity we might be experiencing such as #depression, #ADHD and all manor of #mental #health which can also show itself at a later date with #PTSD and its related symptoms or a physical ailment, this also helps with physical problems we might be facing, whether an illness or accident. As when our energy is out of whack, either over a long period of time because of stress or due to #trauma, it can affect our physical body in many ways. Reiki is there to work alongside modern medicine to correct these imbalances and bring about a more balanced well-being, #physically, #mentally and #emotionally.

Happiness is a way of being, not a set of circumstances.

This may seem a little out there to some of you, but I've seen it seemingly work miracles. From #healing a limping #dog (he'd pulled a muscle when landing wrongly trying to catch his ball), helping people to #sleep, to creating a sense of #calm when a #stressful event was coming up.

It's a non-invasive practice that can be used while on any form of medication, and during anytime of someone's life. Nor do you have to be touched like in massage, many practitioners just hold their hands a short distance from the body at various places where the #Chakras are located (we have seven main energy centres which are known as Chakras and each one relates to a different aspect of ourselves) and can be done regardless of if you're sitting or laying down in a standard setting.

The reason you do not need to be touched during having Reiki is because it works with your #energy field or aura which is larger than our physically bodies, and it is this energy field which helps us to make snap judgements about people we meet, we get a vibe off of them and decide in that moment whether we like them or not. It is this, their own energy field that we can be picking up on and the emotions they are feeling in that moment, and we intuitively know when someone doesn't "feel good" to be around.

Most #practitioners have a set place where you go to see them, while a few like ourselves offer a #mobile service if you are unable to get to them. Which can come in handy if faced with a physical handicap or #anxiety that could make it difficult to get to a given location.

I don't claim to know everything about how this works, nor am I saying you should just take my word for it. But I do believe that it can help in a variety of situations and that it can be beneficial to many....
