Reiki Therapy Promotes Better Health

By Beverly C. Ralph


When the stresses and strains of life seem to be building up, a person may experience an imbalance within themselves. This could lead to feelings of unrest, confusion, being uncomfortable, and might even contribute to the onset of certain health conditions. Many people have found that Reiki therapy can be extremely helpful in resetting one's energies and promoting healing.

"Universal life force energy" is the literal translation of the two Japanese words that make up the name for this particular type of treatment. It is said that every human possess this spirit power that is usually balanced by seven energy centers called chakras. When they are not kept clear of negativity and imbalances, unwanted conditions might begin to develop.

Most often this imbalance shows as hard to justify emotions such as irrational anger, stress, uneasiness or nervousness. It may also take more physical forms like digestive issues, headaches, heartburn, nausea or aches. Undergoing this completely natural, non-invasive technique can assist an individual in feeling whole, balanced and more relaxed.

The method by which this treatment is done is one where the practitioner exercises their ability to both redirect the force within the individual and to transfer some of their own into the client. By holding their hands just barely above various parts of the patient's body, the energy flows easily between the two people, allowing the chakras to be cleared and balanced. Only under very specific circumstances is it necessary to make full physical contact.

Every part of this kind of treatment is natural, safe and based in spirituality with the focus being to conduct life energies in such a way as to promote relaxation and improve health. It has no religious affiliation at all and has no particular dogma to follow or belief system required for it to work. The life force transference can be effective regardless of theological views.

Healing of one's issues does not happen immediately, though one may find themselves feeling considerably more relaxed after one session. The effects are subtle at first, building as the good forces expels the bad and the balance is restored within one's body. The therapist uses their power to pull out blockages and deposit positive energy.

People have used this type of care to address a number of personal issues on both the physical and emotional levels. It has been effective at helping individuals feel less anxious, stressed or tense, and to feel more confident, relaxed and energetic. Some have even chosen to take this route to lowering their blood pressure, stop smoking and other addictions, alleviate headaches, remove toxins, soothe feelings of nausea and the effects of heartburn.
