The Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that has gained popularity worldwide due to its benefits for the body, mind, and soul. Here, we explore how Reiki works and how it can contribute to a person’s overall well-being.
How does it work?
At its core, Reiki involves using Universal Life Energy to facilitate natural healing. Through their hands, a Reiki practitioner channels this energy and directs it toward themselves or another person. In doing so, the body’s natural healing process is awakened, often leading to surprising results.
The process of receiving Reiki is simple and accessible to everyone, as it is completely safe and carries no risk.
By using this technique, the body, mind, and soul are addressed simultaneously. Unlike traditional Western approaches that often focus only on curing specific symptoms, Reiki focuses on the entirety of the human being.
In our Western culture, we tend to focus on “healing” the body, seeking quick and temporary solutions. For example, if we have a headache, we take a painkiller to relieve the discomfort momentarily and think the headache is cured… until it returns. However, Reiki goes beyond just addressing superficial symptoms; it seeks to restore balance in all dimensions of the being.
Reiki’s holistic approach, which considers the individual as a complete unit of body, mind, emotions, and soul, is essential for achieving lasting well-being.
Healing is about the whole: body, mind, emotions, and soul simultaneously. All four are equally important to our overall health, vital energy, and ability to navigate toward our deepest purpose. Body, mind, emotions, and soul: four parts of a whole that are never stronger than their weakest link.
When body, mind, and soul are in balance, a person can experience a deeper connection with themselves and their most profound purpose.

What is a Reiki Healing session like then?
A Reiki healing session involves an “energy treatment where Reiki is channeled through the hands.”
The person lies down fully clothed under a blanket on a table while the Reiki healer gently places their hands in a series of positions over the body. This allows the vital energy to flow freely, in the amount the recipient needs.
The Reiki healer does not use their own energy or that of the recipient. They act as a channel or “conduit” through which Reiki flows.
If you are looking for a way to improve your well-being and explore the connection between your body, mind, and soul, Reiki can be a very valuable tool for you. Don’t hesitate to try this technique and discover how it can enrich your life in amazing ways!
