Relieve Holiday Stress with Reiki

Reiki

Reiki is a technique using the gentle laying-on of hands on the body to aid in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation, and promoting healing and health. Clients remain fully clothed and lie on a massage table for about one hour while receiving Reiki treatment.

History

Reiki was developed over 100 years ago in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui and brought to the West in the early 1940s. In Reiki, it is understood that the root cause of both illness and health lies with the ability of the chi, or energy nutrition, to flow freely around the body to provide it with the necessary energy needed to sustain health, recover quickly from illness and injury, and reduce the effects of stress on the body.

How Does It Work?

Chi flows through meridian pathways within the body physical body. Essentially, Reiki clears, straightens, and heals the energy meridians allowing healthy chi to flow in a natural and uninhibited manner.

Stress and Reiki

Probably the most commonly reported benefit of Reiki is that it reduces stress. One of the first places in the body that stress manifests itself is in the heart and circulation.

Heart rate and blood pressure both increase during stress and these responses are caused by increased activity of sympathetic nerves in the heart. Studies have shown that Reiki can reduce the stress response of the heart in both humans and animals.

Who Uses Reiki?

According to the American Hospital Association, 15 percent or over 800 American hospitals now use Reiki as a regular part of patient care.

And in 2007, a study done by the National Health Interview Survey found that 1.2 millions adults and 161,000 children received one or more sessions of energy healing therapy such as Reiki in the previous year. It is estimated that those numbers have since doubled.
