What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. Reiki is typically received lying down on a healing table or sitting in a chair, fully clothed except for shoes. Various hand positions are used over the body’s energy centers to bring in the Reiki energy while the client relaxes.

​three Healing Benefits of Reiki Healing

1. Relieves pain, anxiety and fatigue

   • A 2015 study found that people being treated for cancer who received distant reiki in addition to regular medical care had lower levels of pain, anxiety, and fatigue. These levels were significantly lower than the control group, who only received medical care. Participants had 30-minute sessions of distant reiki for five days. Find the study here.

   • In 2018 a study was conducted that compared the use of reiki to physiotherapy for relieving lower back pain in people with herniated disks. Both treatments were found to be equally effective at relieving pain, but reiki was more cost-effective and, in some cases, resulted in faster treatment. Find the study here.

2. Improves overall mood

   • Reiki may help to improve your mood by relieving anxiety and depression. According to results from a 2011 study, people who had reiki felt greater mood benefits compared to people who didn’t have reiki. The study participants who had six 30-minute sessions over a period of two to eight weeks showed improvements in their mood.
