If you are a sensitive person, it is likely that you have ever been interested in Reiki and the energies that exist in the universe. Everything you do in the day is charged with energy, you are constantly surrounded by a force field with invisible vibrations that, if you know how to use them correctly, can improve your personal well-being. Reiki is about this, about learning how to use these energies to improve your life and that of others.
What is it and how it works
Reiki is a Japanese technique that is used to heal physical and mental problems, to support mental clarity and spiritual well-being. In Japanese, the word "rei" means a higher intelligence that permeates all living and non-living entities and guides the inherent workings of the universe. The word "ki" has to do with non-physical energy that flows through everything that is alive, including plants, animals, and humans.
For this reason, ki is also called life force energy and is known as qi or chi from other lineages. The combination of these two words is what defines reiki as "Spiritually guided life force energy."
When a person performs Reiki, they will have to channel the life force energy through their hands and transport it to another person. Spirit guidance is said to allow Reiki to flow through the affected parts of the person's energy field and charges them with positive energy.
This increases awareness in and around the physical body where negative thoughts and feelings are contained. These negative thoughts and feelings produce negative energy and cause stress, anxiety, physical pain, confusion, hopelessness, etc. The person who performs Reiki will clarify the energy pathways so that these ills can heal little by little.
How to do Reiki therapy
During a Reiki therapy session, the patient usually lies on a massage table. The Reiki practitioner places their hands on (or directly on top of) the patient's body in various positions, starting at the crown of the head.
Reiki energy flows through the practitioner, from their hands to the person who is lying on the table. However, the exact mechanism by which Reiki energy supposedly flows from one person to another is unknown, it just happens. Some Reiki masters claim that they can treat patients without being close to them, that is, practice Reiki at a distance, a practice known as "distance healing."
Nobody really knows exactly how Reiki works, But what is clear is that energies flow between some people and others and this can positively or negatively affect the person who receives this type of energy. It is possible that Reiki is related to electromagnetic energy, and that it interacts with a person's electromagnetic field.
Another theory is that Reiki promotes relaxation, which in turn decreases the patient's stress response and encourages healing. However, the general efficacy of Reiki is not well founded in the scientific literature.
The Reiki session usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes and the patient, in addition to being on the stretcher, will have to be barefoot but clothed. Soft music and aromas should be played in the background to enhance relaxation (aromatherapy).
Hands are placed on different areas of the body (chakras) and the Reiki energy flows. The patient will feel great relaxation and a sense of peace. There are even those who fall asleep in the middle of a session but this is not a problem to achieve a good final result. Sometimes patients may feel tingly or hot and cold as energy flows through different parts of their body. They can even feel as if they are floating.
What reiki cures
Reiki is a tool that helps reduce stress and enhance the relaxation of the patient. Many people use Reiki solely to improve general well-being. It is necessary to mention that Reiki does not cure any disease, it can simply help to create a better environment in the body and feelings to promote healing but does not cure any diagnosed disease.
Reiki is a tool to use as a complement to traditional medicine and is practiced in health care centers, clinics and even in some hospitals.
Patients receiving Reiki experience changes in their body and may feel uncomfortable, This is normal after the first sessions since with the energy stirring in the body the person may feel nausea, irritability, extreme sensitivity, etc. That is why it is necessary to continue with the rest of the sessions that the practitioner advises.
Each person can respond to the treatment in different ways, for this reason you should not compare how a Reiki session feels to you to how it feels to another person. In addition, after several sessions you should assess whether Reiki is a good option for you or not. The longer the Reiki treatment, the better the results. and the effects of such treatment.
Music to do Reiki
If you want to learn how to do Reiki or simply want to know what type of music is used in the sessions, below you will be able to find some videos so that you can listen to them freely. As you can see, they are songs that lead to calm and well-being of the person who listens to it. Increase relaxation and calm listening only by closing your eyes and if you also get into a Reiki session even better.
If you notice in each video, they have a long duration to be able to use the same music melody throughout the Reiki session, in this way, you will not have to change the music simply because the audio track has run out. Put play and enjoy the music and everything it can bring you in a Reiki session!
