Reiki is able to heighten the energies in our body. All humans and life forms are filled with a super universal life force energy that dominates the essence of our minds and bodies, whether it is referred to as our consciousness or even our soul.

Like the blood in our bodies, this life force energy moves around but with a difference. Its job is to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual when these elements are stagnant, or blocked.

There is a common term or word that is used when we feel ill or imbalanced and that is ‘disease’. The word itself conjures up an image of not feeling well with the world itself.

Sometimes the disease as we have now, called the term of imbalance, can become apparent in the physical with aches and pains such as arthritis or back pain.

If it is an emotional issue that has been supressed, the problem can eventually manifest itself in the form of depression or a form of rage, due to a person feeling trapped.

All of the above happens when the river of life flowing around the body has been trapped somewhere, waiting to be released by a Reiki practitioner.

Reiki healing given to a person or animal by a qualified Reiki practitioner, is a process that can remove many blocks of disease, whether it is more physical than mental or a painful experience that has meant a person has not healed emotionally.

Reiki is hands-on-healing and a Reiki healer will use this universal life force energy which is transmitted via their hands to give healing to a person in need.

The healing energy will start a process of clearance giving the cellular levels of the body time to open and receive the healing force of energy they are calling out for. The healing can feel cool or warm to the recipient.

The healing energy will clear what is known as an aura, and a number of chakras.

Chakras are situated at different places in the body and they can become a little dirty or clogged up -just like the engine of a motor car. Reiki energy being transmitted via the hands of a Reiki practitioner will clear away the dirt to help the body’s life force to kick start the body’s engine, bringing a type of relief.

I choose the word ‘type’ of relief as each person is an individual and could be coping with a wide range of disease or emotional problems. Some people are easier to heal than others.

One of the greatest accomplishments with Reiki healing is that it helps the body to relax by helping a person to have some much-needed sleep.
