The Fundamentals:  Reiki

March 03, 2011 - 5:00PM

Originally developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddist, Reiki roughly translates to mean “universal life force”. Aptly named, this treatment focuses on the transfer of energy, or qi, between the therapist and recipient to encourage the natural healing process. The therapist will place their hands above, or lightly on, the body in patterns to facilitate the opening of blocked energy channels. By opening the energy channels and balancing the chakras, Reiki creates the conditions necessary for healing. While the practice of Reiki is spiritual by nature, it is not affiliated with formal religion, but rather focuses on the connection of the physical and spiritual in the body.

Some other potential benefits of Reiki include:

• Deep relaxation and stress reduction
• Improvement with self-healing (including both acute and chronic discomfort or problems), supporting the immune system
• Assistance with detoxification
• Provides aide with breaking addictions and helping the body recover from drug therapies such as chemotherapy
• Provide relief from sleeplessness and pain
• Affords the opportunity for spiritual growth and harmony

What to expect:

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
• Relaxed positioning on a traditional massage table.
• Extremely light touch, or non-touch technique, may be used by your therapist.
• Some Spa treatments may be contraindicated for certain health conditions. Be prepared to discuss medical concerns with your practitioner.

This gentle, spiritual treatment, can be both soothing and transformative; a sure winner for those individuals seeking relaxation and healing.
