Reiki session

The Reiki method is a technique that works with energies channeled by the therapist through the laying on of hands.

This energy therapy is based on very ancient techniques that have been practiced for centuries. Its origins are in Japan, although techniques similar to Reiki have been used in other cultures since ancient times.

ENERGY, which is the concept around which this practice revolves, receives different names depending on the culture in which it was commonly used: in India it was called Prana, in China Chi and in Japan Ki. Even in classical Greece and Rome there are descriptive texts on hand-laying therapies.

Reiki works on the chakras, the main energy centers of the body, closely related to the main organs, systems and glands of the human body.

According to Reiki Master Hiroshi Doi, Reiki is “a therapeutic method that corrects physical and mental imbalances through the traditional use of energy, Ki.” Its aim is to achieve balance in the body and strengthen its self-healing and recovery capacity, working on both a physical and emotional and even spiritual level.

The simple reflex action of placing one's hands on areas that suffer pain or trauma, as if seeking to reduce the pain and relieve the damaged area, is an example of how we all carry in our subconscious the instinct to heal and protect ourselves with our own hands. Reiki is the tool that seeks to channel and use this energy in the most beneficial way possible for the patient.

It is important to know that Reiki is not recognized by traditional medicine and that there are no scientific studies that support the effectiveness of its practice. However, it is increasingly common to find it in hospitals as a complementary therapy to the treatment of patients.

Reiki is a healing technique created by Master Mikao Usui in 1922 and means “Universal Energy”.

It consists of placing hands on certain important points of the body, energy points, meridians and chakras.

It works by channeling Universal energy. We all have a body or energy field, which in many cases is unbalanced or disorganized, causing illnesses and imbalances in our body, both physically and emotionally. Through harmonization and channeling we achieve a balance in this energy field, giving rise to a state of peace and harmony throughout our body.

To understand it in an easy and simple way, let's give an example:

Every time we feel pain we put our hands on that part of the body to relieve it. We unconsciously know that our hands will relieve that discomfort and that happens thanks to our self-healing capacity. Reiki works more or less like this, although it is applied in a slightly more specific way, working with Universal symbols and carefully studied areas…

Reiki treats the person holistically, as a whole, with the premise that a sick body is trying to tell us that at other levels there is also something that is not working quite right.

In Reiki sessions, any imbalance, both physical and emotional, can be treated, since the person's vital energy and Universal energy are worked with, without major contraindications.

Through this channeling, the person will unblock physical and emotional symptoms, which will lead them to become more aware of the problem or imbalance they are going through, thus causing the changes they need to experience.

During the session, the person will lie down with their eyes closed and relaxed, while the therapist works on these energy zones. After the session, they should drink a lot of water and rest as much as possible, being attentive and aware of the changes that occur in the body.
