Reiki Q&A Part 2: What can Reiki be used for and how effective is it?

Reiki can be used to heal the body, mind and spirit. We all have a natural capacity to heal. For example, consider a simple scratch on the arm. When the scratch stops bleeding, the body has already begun the natural healing process. The physical body can begin to heal when the Reiki energy has cleared out the blockages and higher vibration energy moves freely throughout the physical body’s systems. Once the energy is balanced and flowing freely, the physical body can begin to heal itself.

Reiki can help heal the mind and the emotions of the receiver. The thoughts and beliefs that are created in the mind and lead to emotions are of a higher vibration than the physical body. But because Reiki energy is the highest vibration of energy it will influence the mind as well. Oftentimes, emotions created by erroneous beliefs about ourselves can be released during a Reiki session and an emotional healing will begin.

Probably the most important benefit of Reiki is that it offers a space in which one can be present with oneself and the opportunity to listen to our still, small voice. The busy world that we live in, with all of the stimulus, does not allow us to listen to our inner voice. And only when we can hear the call of our soul do we step on the path of our life’s purpose. Reiki sessions provide a sacred place to connect with our divine selves and begin our spiritual journey.
