Understanding Energy Healing
Reiki is an energy healing therapy created by Mikao Usui in Japan in 1922..
This therapy uses focused intention to help alleviate chronic pain, reduce anxiety and depression, and promote overall well-being.
By channeling universal energy, Reiki practitioners aim to restore balance and harmony in the body, making it a popular complementary treatment for various physical and emotional issues.
What are Chakras?
Chakras are energy centers in your body that extend into your aura. There are seven main chakras, but there are also many smaller ones, and some are even found above and below your physical body.
Each chakra processes a unique set of emotions, and each one affects the physical body parts and organs in its area. Chakras also respond to specific colors and musical notes. That's why some people use colored crystals, tuning forks, or singing bowls during healing sessions.
How to do Reiki?
To practice Reiki on yourself or others, you first need to be attuned by a Reiki master.
Once attuned, you can channel universal energy through your hands to balance and restore energy flow by focusing your intention.
Begin in a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax, ground yourself by connecting with the Earth's energy, and set a positive intention for the session.
Use your intuition to channel the energy, maintain calm breathing, and conclude by expressing gratitude and grounding yourself again before returning to your day.
What can you do with level 1 Reiki?
Once you get your Reiki 1 attunement and certificate, you'll be able to treat yourself and others with Reiki.
This is a great time to practice Reiki with family members and friends so you can get more in touch with this universal energy.
The more you practice, the better your intuition will be, and the more confident you will feel when offering healing energy to other people.
What is a Reiki attunement?
A Reiki attunement is a powerful spiritual process performed by a Reiki master to open and align your energy channels, enabling you to effectively channel universal healing energy.
Once you’re attuned, you will be able to perform Reiki on yourself and others.
Can you get a Reiki attunement online?
There are multiple ways you can get an attunement, at the end of the day it’s all about the intention of the practitioner/master.
