Reiki is a form of alternative healing therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century.
The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "rei" meaning "universal" and "ki" meaning "life energy".
Reiki is based on the principle that there is a universal life energy that flows through all living things, and when this energy is blocked or stagnant, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances.
How is Reiki used?
During a Reiki session, the practitioner uses their hands to channel the universal life energy to the recipient. The recipient lies down or sits comfortably while the practitioner places their hands on or near the recipient's body in a series of hand positions. The energy flows from the practitioner's hands to the recipient's body, helping to clear any blockages and restore balance to the body's energy centers, or chakras.
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki has many potential benefits, including:
Stress relief: Reiki can help to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting deep relaxation and a sense of calm.
Pain relief: Reiki may help to relieve pain by reducing inflammation and promoting the body's natural healing processes.

Increased energy levels: Reiki may help to increase energy levels by clearing blockages and restoring balance to the body's energy centers.

Reiki is a versatile therapy that can be used in a variety of professional settings. Some of the professional settings where Reiki is commonly used include:

Distance Reiki
Whether received in person or through distance Reiki, the benefits of Reiki can be profound and long-lasting.
The effectiveness of Reiki does not depend on whether the treatment is given in person or at a distance. Reiki energy is not limited by time or space and can be sent to any location, which is why distance Reiki can be just as effective as in-person Reiki.
During a distance Reiki session, the practitioner uses visualization and intention to connect with the recipient and send Reiki energy to them. The recipient may feel the energy as warmth, tingling, or a sense of relaxation, just as they would during an in-person session.
The main difference between in-person and distance Reiki is the physical presence of the practitioner. Some people may prefer the comfort of a physical touch during an in-person session, while others may appreciate the convenience and flexibility of distance Reiki.
Ultimately, whether to receive Reiki in person or at a distance is a matter of personal preference. Both methods can be effective and provide the benefits of Reiki therapy.
