“Reiki is love, love is wholeness, wholeness is balance, balance is well-being,
well-being is freedom from disease”.
– Dr. Mikao Usui
Simply and scientifically explained – Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is used by the laying of hands while a powerful, yet subtle energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into the client. It is this energy that creates the relaxation and healing effect. The word Reiki comes from Japanese Kanji and is comprised of two Kanji, Rei and Ki. Rei means Universal and Ki means Life Force Energy, which is in all living things.
Reiki can never do harm – it respects free will. This also means – the more one surrenders to the healing power of Reiki, the more one can be healed on a deeper and more profound level. Reiki heals the aura and works in tandem with the chakras to promote energetic healing in one’s body. Chakras are defined as the seven main energy centers in the body that look like flower petal discs that move subtle energy throughout the body. When the chakras are moving too slow, this can cause blockages in certain parts of the body where this is occurring and could eventually manifest into physical blocks and/or pain.
A more philosophical explanation – Through my time practicing and working with Reiki, I find it to do miraculous things not only for myself but those I have practiced on, as well. It has helped my family stay safe in our day-to-day lives, it has earned my partner a very well deserved job in a company that respects and honors him. It has helped my clients realize blocks in their healing that they have pushed down to “forget”. These have been brought back up to the surface in a gentle way to be recognized and healed productively.
On a daily basis, Reiki guides me and assists me in connecting with my authentic self and higher levels of consciousness. I feel at peace and know that Reiki is guiding me through my life’s purpose. Which my life purpose also happens to be Reiki. For others, Reiki can assist you in identifying your life purpose, whatever that may be, and positively guiding you towards it.
At Live Life Reiki Studio, we are committed to our client’s growth and healing – we can write an article or a blog all day about how you’ll find you’ll feel better about yourself, your confidence will go up, you’ll sleep better, have less anxiety, find your voice again, or get rid of those headaches that have been lingering for days, months, or years. But it will really resonate with you when you come to experience all of Reiki’s abundance for yourself.
