Reiki is an alternative therapy that has been used for centuries in various forms. It is an energy healing technique that works with the body’s natural life force energy (qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine) and that of the universe. It involves the transfer of qi by laying the practitioner’s hands over the patient’s chakras and meridians, acting as a conduit, which allows the qi to flow through them and their hands to their patient. This helps channel the qi to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional wellbeing.

Every living thing and person is made up of energy and in order to function optimally, this qi needs to flow freely. However, emotional traumas, physical injuries, stress, fear, and other suppressed emotions create blockages and stagnation in the body that prevent this flow and can lead to symptoms like pain, and disease in the body.

Good news is that while reiki is not an alternative treatment for medical issues, it is an adjunctive therapy that can improve the flow of qi around the body to help support the body’s natural healing process and increase a feeling of wellbeing. It enables relaxation, reduces pain, speeds healing, and reduces other symptoms of illness. It can also help people cope with difficulties, relieve emotional stress, and relieve headaches, leaving the patient feeling refreshed with the ability to think more clearly and sleep better. Bye, bye foggy stagnation and all without interfering with any other treatments.

More about energy

This unseen “life force energy” (qi) flows and circulates through and around every living being. It’s what causes us to be alive and if one’s qi is low or if there is any restriction in the flow, then the body will be in an unbalanced state. Being in this state of low qi and blockages increases the probability of illness, stress, pain, anxiety, fear, anger, and/or negative thoughts/feelings. However, when our qi frequency is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Chakras & Crystals Healing

The body has 7 principal chakras, which are important energy centers of awareness in the body that while are not physical or anatomical, they do correspond to certain positions in the body. They influence cells, organs, the entire hormone system, thoughts, and feelings and infuse the cells and organs with healing qi to function optimally along with the mind and spirit. As they influence us, we also take in energy through these chakras from our surroundings like plants, animals, other people, the sun, moon, and planets, etc.

They can be activated and harmonized through certain techniques which leads to improvements in physical and mental health, psychological stability, and inner peace. This knowledge and these techniques come from the oldest system addressing development of the whole person; yoga, but it has also been recognized by many other cultures.

The 7 chakras are aligned along the spinal column, extending from the coccyx to the top of the head and each is represented by a specific crystal, based on their frequencies. When choosing to pair crystal healing with your reiki or acupuncture treatment, these crystals are then placed on the corresponding points on the body to help draw in more healing energy and balance.

This is why chakra work, crystals, reiki, and acupuncture all pair so beautifully together. They all work with improving the condition of the body’s qi system to support the body’s natural healing processes, whatever your ailment may be.

Meridians

Meridians are channels through which our qi flows. It’s like a network of invisible pathways connecting every element of the body, mind, spirit, and emotions like a map. There are 12 major meridians that each correspond to an internal organ and its own functions. Energy and blood continuously flow through these meridians and communicating and coordinating every function in the body to keep the body balanced.

Acupuncture and Reiki

See how all of these elements and practices tie into our meridians and the qi that flows through them? This is why chakra work, crystals, reiki, and acupuncture all pair so beautifully together. They all work with improving the condition of the body’s qi system to support the body’s natural healing processes, whatever your ailment may be.
