Understanding the Mechanism of Reiki

Reiki operates under the principle that energy flows to areas where it is most needed in the body. This practice promotes deep relaxation, allowing the body to tap into its inherent healing capabilities. By fostering balance and freeing stagnation, Reiki alleviates both physical discomfort and emotional distress.

Scientific studies are beginning to support the benefits of Reiki. For instance, a study from the International Journal of Yoga found that Reiki significantly reduced stress levels in participants, who reported a 75% improvement in their overall sense of well-being after consistent sessions. While ongoing research is essential, many practitioners and clients trust its effectiveness based on personal journeys.

Reiki explained with glass of water example:

When a simple glass of water has been sitting out for weeks, the water will start to develop stagnation, debris and look cloudy. If you place that glass underneath a running tap until the water begins to flow into and over and over the glass, eventually the glass will contain fresh clean water.

In a reiki session, your energetic subtle bodies are being flushed, purifying all vibrational gunk, other people's energies and influences collected unconsciously until you contain new and fresh energy, which enables you to balance your mind, body and spirit.
