Reiki is a holistic energy healing system for relaxation and stress relief that originated in Japan. It supports our own innate healing abilities and can bring balance to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Rei – universal
Ki – life force/energy (known as Chi in China or prana in India)
When we experience stress and feelings of unease with ourselves and our lives reiki can bring you back to your own self-healing abilities and to feeling more like yourself. Reiki can help with numerous conditions, clearing our flow of energy and bring us back into alignment.
How reiki works
Reiki is the ‘life force energy’ that flows through us all. If this is low then we are more susceptible to feelings of stress and illness. If our energy (or ki) is high and balanced then we are more able to experience health and wellbeing.
“Touch is one of the fastest ways we have to both calm down and re-energize the nervous system and restore a sense of safety, according to Dacher Keltner, founder of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Warm, safe touch releases oxytocin, the hormone of safety and trust, of calm and connect. As Keltner notes in his book Born to Be Good, oxytocin is the brain’s direct and immediate antidote to the stress hormone cortisol—and oxytocin repairs any damage to the physical heart caused by cortisol.”
