This is one of the most popular questions I’m asked when I tell people I’m a Reiki practitioner and a question I asked myself when my Reiki journey began.
First, let’s look at the word Reiki, a quick search on Google will give you various definitions;
- Universal Energy
- Spiritual Energy
- Life-Force Energy
Reiki is a Japanese word, and if we break it down; Rei = Universal and Ki = energy.
Over the years, people’s interpretation and experience of Reiki have led to various definitions. Whilst you can’t dispute the exact translation, I do believe & feel they all fit perfectly.
But I know you want to know more than what the word means, otherwise you wouldn’t have clicked on this blog.
So, let’s continue…
How does Reiki work?
Whenever I’m asked this question, I have to take a deep breath and really think. Not because I’m irritated by the question, it’s because I never know where to start!
As I’ve already said, everyone is different in their beliefs and openness to things they cannot touch, feel or see. So, before I decide what explanation to give, I connect with my intuition, feel and see which one each person is ready for.
Sometimes, I began by saying, “ah, it’s magic!” then explain; other times, I’ll lead with something else.
Here are a few ways I’ve explained it, take what feels right with you and your beliefs.
During a reiki session, you’re held in a healing space, channelling the universal energy, releasing negative emotions & healing on a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level.
Reiki IS magic. As an energy healer, I connect to the universal energy around you and focus on you looking happy & healthy. My intent is always for the highest & greatest good, and I hold space for you to heal.
Energy is everywhere & is everything right? Even Einstein said so…and so I connect with the energy, focus on you and provide the time and space to heal.
This is how it works.
And finally, the one that kicks all these out of the park; a few words from my Reiki Teacher, Natalie Mitchell of Relax & Heal with Reiki;
‘A one-to-one healing session gives you the opportunity of being open to and experiencing a healing space in a warm, safe and caring environment.
Most people think that a Reiki Practitioner heals you; they don’t! Instead, they provide you with a healing space in which you can heal yourself with the Universal energy, of which there is plenty, never-ending!
The Practitioner can be a vessel for the Universal energy to flow through to you, the Client, enabling the healing.
Let the energy go to where it is most needed to heal mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
You may heal on many levels, some on a conscious level, others on an unconscious level. But you will be healing; you just may not realise this at the time.’
