Use Your Hands To Heal
Reiki means the "Universal Life Energy". This is the energy that is used in Reiki treatments to heal and improve body and mind conditions. The Reiki technique consists in channeling this energy to the patient through the Reiki practitioner, and can be used by anybody that has the will of help healing him/herself or someone else.
Reiki is recognized by the Florida Department of Health as a healing hands-on procedure, that activates the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restores physical and emotional balance.
Reiki brings the patient to a state of extreme relaxation, which allows him/her to regain emotional and physical balance.
On the spiritual level, Reiki is used to overcome depression, anxiety, sadness and to acquire spiritual growth. It is recommended to people that have experienced losses, trauma, and big life changes, or who want to develop feelings like forgiveness, gratefulness, hope, joy, love, faith, harmony, kindness, etc.
As a body healing technique, Reiki liberates muscular tensions and restores body function levels, helping to stabilize cardiac rates, blood pressure, blood sugar level, respiratory rhythm, and other health indicators. Reiki is also used to overcome insomnia, regenerate tissue and eliminate allergies.
It is normally used in conjunction with other therapies and brings the same benefits shown on massage therapy and yoga, without the need of physical contact or stress. This makes Reiki extremely useful to hospitalized patients or other situations where manipulation is not recommended.
The International Center for Reiki Training describes the training of Reiki practitioners as follows:
" An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life."
Reiki is not a religion, and will work independently of the practitioner’s faith or believe. But since it uses the Universe's energy, it is still important that whoever practices it seeks to live in the concepts of peace and harmony that are universal across world cultures.
All therapists at Stress Management Center are trained and certified Reiki practitioners, and use the technique on Reiki sessions or with other therapies.
