What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice that promotes balance and overall well-being. Originating in Japan, Reiki involves the transfer of universal life force energy through a practitioner's hands, either in person or from a distance. Many believe it helps reduce stress, enhance relaxation, and support the body's natural healing processes.


Reiki works on healing any change that has affected the aura (5 layers of aura explained in previous blogs) and chakras present in our body. Whether used for emotional clarity, physical comfort, or spiritual harmony, Reiki offers a serene path toward inner peace and rejuvenation.

A lot of us wonder how Reiki works. Why does it work for some people but not for some others? How can we enhance our healing experience as a healer or the one being healed? Mindfulness is the key in this regard.



#1: Mindfulness and the Pillars of Reiki: A Deeper Connection

For a truly profound Reiki session, mindfulness is key, enriching the experience for both the practitioner and the client. Dr. Mikao Usui's teachings highlight three essential practices, known as the three pillars of Reiki: Gassho, Reiji-ho, and Chiryo. Each pillar plays a vital role throughout a healing session, offering several benefits:

  • They act as a form of spiritual preparation, helping practitioners achieve a calm and focused mindset before and during energy channeling.

  • These practices facilitate the practitioner's ability to tune into intuition, allowing information to flow from the Reiki energy, their client, and Divine Guidance without ego interference.

  • The pillars establish a strong connection to the Reiki energy for both involved in the session, empowering the practitioner to channel energy with greater intuition.

  • Ultimately, this mindful atmosphere envelops the entire session to create a powerful healing experience.

People who are even slightly aware about Reiki have heard about the five precepts of Reiki. Here let us try to understand what those precepts are, why are they necessary and how they help in healing?


#2: The 5 Reiki Precepts are guiding principles for a balanced life:

  • Just for today, I will not worry: Frees mental energy from anxieties, promoting inner peace.

  • Just for today, I will not be angry: Releases negative emotions that deplete energy, making the practitioner calm.

  • Just for today, I will be grateful: generates positive emotions, attracting more positivity and boosting well-being.

  • Just for today, I will do my work honestly: Encourages integrity and authenticity, aligning actions with higher self.

  • Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing: incorporates compassion and interconnectedness, extending healing to others and self.


By consciously practicing these precepts, individuals align their energetic field with positive vibrations, facilitating emotional, mental, and physical healing by reducing stress, improving mood, and creating a sense of harmony. This is your chance to get your reader excited about the guide and appreciate the real value behind reading the post in its entirety.


We now understand that for Reiki to flow we need to be mindful of the energy and follow the precepts as far as possible, but how does Reiki work does it just flow through the receiver like some electric current or does it work like a medicine, how does it cure? Though not many scientific evidences of healing through Reiki are available yet there are theories that explain how Reiki works on one’s body and mind during healing.


Reiki basically works on the 5 layers of human aura to heal and repair any damage in the aura caused by external or internal factors (which manifest into various ailments) with the cosmic energy. Sometimes diseases (physical, mental, emotional etc.) may appear due to imbalance or blockage in the chakras of a person. Reiki helps in balancing the seven chakras in the body and bringing them in alignment.  


Reiki channels universal life force energy to these chakra points. This energy helps clear blockages and rebalances the flow within each chakra, allowing them to spin at their optimal rate in harmony with each other. By restoring this natural energy flow, Reiki supports your body's innate healing, leading to greater clarity, calm, and overall well-being.


#3:  What Happens During a Reiki Session?

A Reiki session is a deeply relaxing experience focused on encouraging your body's natural healing. It usually starts with a brief chat to discuss the issue that the client is concerned about, and setting intentions towards the healing.


The client then lies down, fully clothed, on a massage table or sits comfortably in a chair, often with soothing music or dim lighting to enhance relaxation.


The practitioner will then gently place their hands on or just above various points on your body, often aligning with your energy centers (chakras).


They act as a channel for universal life force energy. The client may experience sensations like warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation; some even drift to sleep. The practitioner intuitively moves their hands, sensing where energy is most needed.

Finally, there's a brief integration of clients energy field and a quick post-session chat to discuss how they felt during the session. Typically reiki will leave you with a feeling of calmness and tranquility after the session.


We have explored the gentle power of Reiki and its role in harmonizing our inner energy, remember that this healing journey of self-discovery and balance is truly continuous. What if unlocking even more of your inherent potential was simpler than you ever imagined? The subtle shifts that begin with a focused intention and the flow of universal life force can ripple through every aspect of your being, inviting a profound sense of peace and clarity.
