Reiki is a therapy that has been healing the Japanese for thousands of years and is becoming increasingly popular in Europe. Its name may seem a bit strange to you, but surely in a short time it will start to ring a bell, since its results are surprising more and more patients. Since it is a technique that seeks to balance our body, it can be very beneficial to relieve stress and anxiety caused by today’s busy lifestyles.
In Japanese, reiki means something like universal energy and it is precisely this source of vibration that can cure different illnesses, both physical and psychological. It is a complementary therapy to medical treatment that even thousands of hospitals already practice. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes Reiki as an alternative therapy. One of the principles of reiki says: ‘There are no sick bodies, there are sick souls’.
This technique considers that energy is the force that drives any type of movement, both mental and physical, of the human being. Each of us is made up of energy. When these forces are blocked or find obstacles that hinder their flow, it is necessary to restore balance to the organism. Certain nervous conditions such as stress and anxiety can cause instability in our well-being.
How Reiki can help relieve stress?
Reiki therapy proposes to eliminate these small imbalances through contact with the hands. For example, one of the twelve reiki postures consists of placing the hands under the patient’s head while the patient is lying relaxed on the table. And it is that the hands can have a great healing power. The human body has the ability to self-heal, you just have to enhance it with the correct mental disposition to undergo reiki and relieve stress.
In addition to being very useful for reducing muscle pain, or even helping cancer patients cope with chemotherapy, Reiki is used to reduce stress and depression. It is about helping the patient to regain balance to overcome mental blocks.
You don’t have to be an experienced reiki master, everyone can receive a session if they are willing to do so.
