Energy Healing With Reiki
Energy Healing with Reiki: Restoring Balance Through Universal Life Force Energy
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word translated as “Universal Life Energy.” The system of Reiki healing, called Usui Shiki Ryoho, was founded by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s and later brought to the West by Hawayo Takata. It is a gentle yet powerful method of channeling life force energy through the hands to support balance, healing, and renewal on all levels of being.
When Reiki energy flows through a practitioner into the client, it naturally directs itself to where it is most needed. This may be on a physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual level. Reiki is not a religion and requires no specific belief system—only an openness to receive.
Benefits of Reiki Energy Healing
Many people experience Reiki as deeply calming and restorative. A session may help to:
Release accumulated stress and tension
Replenish and energize the body and mind
Balance the chakras and energy pathways
Support the body’s natural ability to heal
Promote relaxation, peace, and inner clarity
Why Reiki Is Unique
Universal Life Energy: Reiki channels pure life force energy, flowing exactly where it is needed.
Spiritual Connection: “Rei” represents divine wisdom or higher intelligence; “Ki” refers to life energy. Together, Reiki harmonizes body, mind, and spirit.
Holistic Approach: Reiki can clear blockages, detoxify the body, and restore inner balance.
Safe for All: Reiki protects the energy of the practitioner and delivers only healing energy to the receiver.
Complementary Practice: Reiki can be used alongside medical or therapeutic care to enhance well-being.
Even a single Reiki session can begin to restore balance and replenish the flow of life force energy, helping you feel more aligned, centered, and connected to your highest self.
How Reiki Heals the Body, Mind, and Spirit
Reiki is based on the principle that life force energy (Ki) flows through every living being. When this energy is strong and balanced, we experience health and vitality; when it is depleted or blocked, stress, illness, or imbalance may arise. Unlike ordinary Ki, however, Reiki is guided by higher intelligence (“Rei”)—it is not controlled by the conscious or subconscious mind. This means Reiki energy can never cause harm; it flows only where healing is needed, restoring balance on every level.
The Healing Process
Initiated Practitioners: Reiki is passed on through attunements or initiations. These spiritual ceremonies open the practitioner to the universal life force energy without depleting their own.
Self-Treatment: Practitioners learn hand placements to treat themselves, supporting daily balance and stress release.
Hands-On Sessions: The practitioner channels energy by placing their hands lightly on or above the body’s main energy centers (chakras).
Distant Healing: Advanced Reiki training teaches practitioners to send energy across space and time, using specific symbols.
Client Experience: Many clients report sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation as the body absorbs the energy where it is most needed.
How Reiki Heals: Scientific Insights and Spiritual Wisdom
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, growing research supports its benefits in health and wellness:
Stress Reduction & Relaxation: A 2017 review in Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine found Reiki to be more effective than placebo for reducing pain, anxiety, and depression, while improving overall quality of life.
Physiological Effects: Studies using heart rate variability (HRV) show Reiki may help regulate the autonomic nervous system, promoting relaxation and balance between mind and body.
Complementary Care: Hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins have incorporated Reiki into patient care to support pain management, recovery, and emotional well-being.
Immune & Healing Support: Research published in Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (2011) suggests Reiki can reduce biological markers of stress, such as cortisol, potentially aiding immune function.
“I can reassure you that Reiki will keep your body healthy, strong and young and your mind peaceful and present in the moment.”- Anna Hanael

Balanced chakras and energy flow
Relief from physical discomfort
Emotional release and uplifted mood

The energy naturally flows where it is most needed, guided by higher wisdom, to support healing of body, mind, and spirit.
Can Reiki be combined with Western medicine or other therapies?
Yes. Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside medical treatments, counseling, or holistic practices. Many healthcare providers, including major hospitals, now recommend Reiki for stress reduction, pain management, and recovery support.
Do I need any experience before starting Reiki training?
No prior experience is required. Reiki Level I training is open to everyone and provides the initiations and instruction needed to become a Reiki practitioner.
Why do Reiki initiations need to be done in person?
Traditional Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho requires initiations to be performed directly between Master and Student. This ensures a pure, lifelong connection to the energy flow that cannot be replicated online.
What’s the difference between Reiki Level I and Reiki Level II?
Reiki Level I focuses on self-healing and hands-on practice with others, while Reiki Level II introduces sacred Reiki symbols that expand your ability to perform distant healing and work on deeper emotional and karmic patterns.
Do I need Reiki Level I before Reiki Level II training?
Yes. Reiki Level I is the foundation for all further Reiki training. It connects you to the energy flow and teaches you how to use it for self-healing and healing others in person. Reiki Level II builds on this foundation, introducing advanced symbols and the ability to perform distant healing.
