Do you find yourself feeling stressed quite frequently? Maybe you find it hard to feel relaxed and calm? Perhaps you are wanting to find a technique that can help with these things?

Keep reading to discover the health benefits of Reiki and how they can help combat this negativity!

You may or may not have heard of the Japanese technique called Reiki, but this can be a great stress-reducing practice.

This particular technique was developed in Japan, in the early 20th century and is now practiced around the world.

I am going to tell you some of the great health benefits of Reiki, but before I start, let’s look at what Reiki is.

What Is Reiki?

A Japanese technique used for relaxation and stress reduction, Reiki is normally practiced with the Reiki Practitioner laying his or her hands over the client's body, using different hand positions, so that energy can flow through.

The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words. ‘Rei’ meaning ‘God’s Wisdom or the ‘Higher Power’ and ‘Ki’ meaning ‘life force energy'. The idea of this is that when someone has low life force energy, they can be more likely to get sick or feel stressed and unrelaxed.

When the practice is happening the high life force energy can flow through from the practitioner's hands into the client's body, increasing positive energy.

The Reiki can treat the person’s body, emotions, mind, and spirit which can help them to feel relaxed and at peace. Reiki is a method of spiritual healing and self-improvement.

Does Reiki Work?

As noted above, Reiki involves laying your hands in different positions in order to promote healing in the recipient. However, you may be skeptical about its efficacy.

If you’re asking “how does Reiki work?” it’s helpful to look at some of the major documented Reiki benefits. The benefits of Reiki healing techniques are covered below, and this evidence indicates that Reiki practitioners are doing something that is both powerful and effective.

But the question remains: how does Reiki work? And, in particular, how does Reiki work scientifically?

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki science tells us that the process works by channeling positive energy, moving it from outside the body to inside it. This energy is directed by the location of the hands, allowing the practitioner to spread energy to the places where it's needed.

While the movement of this energy is impossible to measure, it is felt in an unmistakable way by those who are attuned to it. Some describe this as a movement of life force.

This term nicely captures the feeling of intense and immediate release of stress and alleviation of tension that many people feel after receiving Reiki. In particular, studies show that chronic pain suffers are among those who are most likely to report quick and noticeable results.

To understand how Reiki works, it's important not only to understand the principle of energy transfer but also to note that there are different techniques. Practitioners use different hand positions and movements, including infusing, smoothing the aura, beaming, and clearing. Each of these techniques is associated with unique benefits.

How Can I Learn Reiki?

Now that you have a better sense of what Reiki healing techniques can offer and why they work, you may be tempted to learn this practice for yourself. The good news is that absolutely anyone can practice Reiki; you just need to be open to developing the skills.

If you do want to do learn how to do Reiki, it’s best to get professional training. While students aren't “taught” in the traditional sense, teachers of Reiki transfer their skills to those who are learning. Whether you want to practice Reiki in a business or simply like the idea of using it for yourself and your loved ones, there are plenty of “Reiki for beginners” courses. Similarly, there are more advanced forms of training for those who want to hone their craft.

In these settings, you can learn how to attune yourself to life force energy. Plus, you can experiment with transmitting it.

Reiki For Beginners: How To Do Reiki

Even before doing any formal training, you can get some of the major Reiki benefits by trying it at home. Reiki for beginners is pretty easy to learn, and you can start by practicing on yourself.

Here are the steps that you need to take in order to learn some fundamental Reiki healing techniques:

  1. Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed. Sit down with your feet on the floor and your hands on your lap.
  2. Close your eyes and take deep, steady breaths. Let your heart rate and your thoughts slow. Learning how to do Reiki has a lot to do with being in a reflective, receptive state.
  3. Scan your body from head to toe, simply noticing all the sensations you experience. In particular, scan your body for places that feel tense, or in which your body's energy is blocked. Try not to judge or assess these sensations in any way, simply accepting them for what they are.
  4. Touch one of the places that feel tense, laying your palm directly over the area that is sore or tight. Picture the tension being released. For example, you might visualize dark energy seeping out, or golden energy surrounding and cushioning the area.

When offering Reiki healing techniques to others, you can use similar visualization techniques when releasing negative energy but you'll need to rely on the person to give you feedback on areas that feel tense. With time and further training on how to do Reiki, however, you'll learn to sense places that need treatment.

7 Health Benefits Of Reiki

Now that you know what Reiki actually involves and how it works, I want to talk to you about the benefits of Reiki. There are a variety of different benefits from this technique, and anyone can take part in Reiki if they wish to.

1. Reduces Depression And Anxiety

Studies have shown that Reiki can help to reduce depression and anxiety by changing your mood. Reiki has been shown to help those in a negative mood, change and feel more positive through receiving the life force energy and dissolving any energetic blockages.

Then, once your mood improves, your stress levels can reduce as well as any anxiety you might have. This, in turn, will help accelerate your manifestation journey.

Research has also shown a significant decrease in depression and anger too. This can happen because of your mood improving from receiving the Reiki practice.

2. Enables Emotional Clarity And Spiritual Growth

Reiki can also be used to heal you emotionally.

Reiki is used to help people with their energy and this can bring inner peace and harmony (which is a very useful quality to have for spiritual growth).

The practice can clear and clean your emotions, and it can also help with strengthening your relationships, enhancing your capability to love, enabling you to deeply connect with others.

All of these qualities can help you to spiritually grow and be at one with your emotions.

3. Self Care Tool

Reiki can also be used by yourself, as a self-care practice. You can perform Reiki on your own body too, and this can be a great way to de-stress and be at peace after a long day. If you think about when you may have accidentally hurt yourself, your body heals on its own, so using Reiki can bring that healing energy to your body and get rid of any energetic blockages.

You can pick a time, set up your space with pillows and candles and use the technique on yourself, which will give you some self-care, and you also might find you are calmer and have greater inner peace.

4. Reiki Eases Pain

Research has shown that Reiki has been able to help people with certain pains and other symptoms that they may have. Whilst it is not a direct cure, it can alleviate a range of physical difficulties.

In one study, Reiki was shown to be the most effective therapy for pain-relieving effects than two other therapies (Therapeutic Touch and Healing Touch).

Another study revealed that Cancer patients who took part in Reiki had their tiredness, pain, and anxiety significantly decrease. After quite a lot of research, many show that Reiki can be very effective when it comes to reducing symptoms of pain.

5. Increases White Blood Cell Production

In a case that was conducted, people who received Reiki as opposed to those who relaxed and those who received neither treatment were found to have an increased number of white blood cells. The study showed that the immune system was enhanced due to this. White blood cells are the cells of the immune system, and our immune system will aid our bodies in defending against germs or infections such as colds and sore throats.

This shows that Reiki can have a positive effect on our bodies, helping us to prevent catching colds or other infections.

6. Boosts Intuition And Creativity

Reiki can reduce your stress levels and bring you clarity and focus. This can be great for focusing on your intuition as you can feel more rational and stress-free.

With creativity, Reiki can help as it breaks down any energetic blocks. Once you are free of these blocks you can focus on opening up new avenues and inspirations, be able to generate new ideas and use your imagination easily.

This can all really help with your creativity.

7. Reiki Calms The Mind

Because Reiki can help you to reconnect with your heart, and with your Higher Self, it can really help you to clear your energy of any negativity. Reiki can help you to reconnect with your true center. Then, you can become aware of any negative patterns that you may be holding on to and letting take over.

So, using Reiki can help you to face your negative energies and focus on when you are holding on to them. This can help you to let go of them and clear your mind. You can then focus on the positive energy that you have, that flows through you, which will help to calm your mind.
