Reiki is a Japanese energy-healing practice that works with the body’s natural life-force energy to support balance, relaxation, and self-healing. At its core, Reiki is not something being “done” to you, it is something that gently awakens the body’s own innate intelligence to heal and restore itself.
Everything is energy, including the human body. Stress, emotional overwhelm, trauma, illness, and long-term suppression can disrupt the natural flow of this energy. When energy becomes blocked or stagnant, it can show up as anxiety, fatigue, emotional heaviness, physical tension, disconnection, or repeating life patterns. Reiki works by helping to restore the natural flow of energy so the system can return to a state of balance.
During a Reiki session, you remain fully clothed and simply lie down or sit comfortably. Light, non-invasive touch is used. There is no force, pressure, or manipulation involved. Reiki is deeply gentle and always led by your body’s needs.
A Reiki session often brings the nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into a state of deep rest. In this state, the body can finally stop guarding, bracing, and holding and begin releasing. Some people feel warmth, tingling, waves of emotion, deep calm, or a sense of spaciousness. Others may simply feel very relaxed. There is no right way to experience Reiki.
Reiki does not override your will, belief system, or medical care. It does not diagnose, and it does not replace professional medical or psychological treatment. Instead, it works beautifully alongside other healing modalities by supporting the body, mind, and spirit as a whole.
One of the most important things to understand about Reiki is that it does not force healing. It creates safety. And from safety, the body can finally do what it already knows how to do, repair, regulate, release, and recalibrate.
Each session is unique. Some people experience emotional clearing. Others feel physical relief. Some notice subtle shifts over time, better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, or a deeper connection to themselves. Healing does not always arrive loudly. Often, it arrives quietly, through steadiness and softness.
Reiki is not about becoming someone new. It is about gently returning to who you were before survival became your dominant state. It is an invitation back into balance, presence, and inner safety at your own pace, in your own time.
