8 Reasons I Love Reiki

By Kristi L., Reiki Master & Guest Writer

Reiki changed my life in deep and insightful ways.

When I first heard about it, I was curious but very skeptical. After my first session, I was all in! Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy.” The practitioner is the channel for this beautiful energy. Reiki is a holistic healing method that helps the body’s own natural healing ability through energy flow balancing.

Here are 8 reasons why I love Reiki:

1. I feel an intense sense of relaxation, calm and peace.

-I feel safe, not just with the Practitioner, but with the energy.

-I am not asleep but in a calm surrender, like being wrapped in a cozy blanket.

-I realized that I am worthy of prioritizing myself.

2. Each session feels different, but always a deep relaxation.

-I often experience vivid colors, images, and tingly sensations.

-It feels like a deep rest.

3. It helped with stress management and relieved my pain.

-It has been the perfect upgrade for my physical and emotional healing.

-It complements my natural lifestyle and has helped me trust my body.

-I was experiencing severe shoulder pain with no physical conditions. My pain

released with continued practice and now I have zero pain.

4. It reduced the mental noise and my sleep improved.

-I trust my path and the Reiki energy; it has calmed the mind chatter.

-I did not have the noise in my mind during sessions. I strive to return to that

level of calm. I was more relaxed and, in turn, it helped my sleep.

5. My clarity and acceptance of life’s experiences improved.

-The peacefulness I gained helped me trust that everything will work out.

6. I feel lighter and release the heaviness of the world.

-It takes me into the present moment, the now. I cannot control everything. I can

control my reactions.

7. Reiki is flexible based on my needs.

-A Reiki Practitioner can schedule you for different lengths of time.

-You can schedule on a regular basis or as needed.

-Learning Reiki allowed me to give Reiki to myself. Both are valuable. Self-Reiki

works anywhere and anytime. Working with a Practitioner puts you in a

receiving mode and there is power in that.

8. Reiki is not a religion but I feel more connected to Source, God, Universe.

-Understanding the flow of energy is similar to understanding how radio waves

put out different frequencies and how you must tune into the right station to

hear the music. A Reiki Practitioner tunes you into yourself.

-I learned to trust in the unseen on a deeper level. There is more to this world

than what I can physically sense.

Reiki continues to improve my life in many ways and I am very grateful. I believe everyone can benefit from Reiki!
