What Is Reiki Therapy?

Reiki healing is the usage of spiritual energy to heal a person's aura or situation. The word "Reiki" actually translates to "Universal Life Force Energy." Massage is the process of rubbing or kneading different parts of the body for therapeutic reasons or purposes.

The usual treatment of Reiki massage begins at the head and works its way through the seven different chakras. The hand placements coincide with the seven major chakras or energy centers of the physical body.

The Root Chakra Belongs together with the large intestine and the rectum. It also has a certain influence on the function of the kidneys.
The Navel Chakra Belongs to the reproduction system, the testicles and ovaries and also the urinary bladder and kidneys.
The Solar Plexus Chakra Is in relation to the liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen and the small intestine.
The Heart Chakra Belongs to the heart and the arms.
The Throat Chakra Relates to the lungs and the throat.
The Third Eye (forehead) Chakra Belongs to the brain, face, nose, eyes etc.
The Crown Chakra Does not have a corresponding organ but is related to the whole being.

Reiki is used to treat conditions such as TMJ (more commonly known as lock-jaw), muscle pain, tension, stress, injury healing, pain management and over 60 other medical ailments. In the Western world, there are four different areas or chakras of the body used for treatment. They are the head, body, legs/feet and back, respectively.

Reiki treatments are said to be one hundred percent safe; they do not incur any side effects or injuries. There are sensations that are felt, but they are different for different people. Some people experience a sensation of warmth or tingling. Others experience a spirit of relaxation and balance. Depending on the patient, Reiki treatments have been known to show results immediately or over a period of extended time. Make sure that you are going to a certified Reiki Master-Teacher to receive your treatments.
