How does reiki heal and benefit you?

Our body is composed not only of physical elements such as muscles, bones, and organs. It also has a subtle energy system through which 'life force energy' flows. This subtle energy system is composed of chakras, energy highways called meridians, and fields of auric energy which surround our physical body and assist us in processing our thoughts and emotions.

The existence of 'life force energy' and the necessity for it to flow freely in and around one's body to maintain health has been studied and acknowledged by health care practitioners as well as scientists.

Our physical body is alive because of the 'life force energy' that is flowing through it. If our 'life force' is low or blocked, we are more likely to get sick, but if it is high and free flowing, we more easily maintain health and a feeling of well-being.

One thing that disrupts and weakens the flow of 'life force energy' is stress. Stress is often caused by conflicting thoughts and feelings that get lodged in one's subtle energy system. These include fear, worry, doubt, anger, anxiety, etc.

Medical research has determined that continual stress can block the body's natural ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself. The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75%-95% of all visits to doctors are the results of reaction to stress. The effects of unreleased stress range from minor aches to major health concerns, such as heart disease, digestive disorders, respiratory and skin problems.

Reiki (ray-key) is a technique that aids the body in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation. The Reiki system of healing is a technique for transmitting this subtle energy to yourself and others through the hands into the human energy system.

It restores energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. It gently and effectively opens blocked meridians and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace.
