Energy healing is funny business. How can such a subtle way of working with the body be so profound? How can without physically manipulating the body you release emotional, mental, and spiritual holds on it? How every time you leave a Reiki session you feel like your body is going through a transformation even if ever so slight. Reiki is one of the more well known forms of energy healing you'll hear out there, though not limited to. I am an avid lover of Reiki since I was introduced to it in 2013. Whether in my own spiritual practice or sharing it with others the benefits of its beautiful healing light.
I turned to Reiki when I had become numb emotionally to the world and was ready to shift it all. When I walked out of my first session I knew two things. That this was something that helped me reconnect with myself, and that I needed to learn how I could share this with others. Though how do I explain the amazing benefits of Reiki? Well, by blogging the experiences and why I love it of course!
What is Reiki Energy Healing and Where it came from
The best way I've been ever able to explain it is that a Reiki Practitioner is a conduit of universal energy. Using symbols and initiations given by Reiki Masters they are able to access healing universal energy through them and direct it through their hands (though not limited to). As the practitioner places their hands on either their own body or of the client being treated the energy is directed and begins to open, clear and release the eccentric body layers. This is the basics of what Reiki does. Where does it come from, and how it all began you ask? It was discovered in Japan by a man named Mikao Usui during a meditation retreat and fasting on top of Mt Kurama. At which by the end of his retreat he experienced a divinity presence that filled him, Universal Reiki, enabling him the ability to heal. Which led him to open a Reiki clinic, followed by teaching students into becoming Reiki Masters themselves.
What can Reiki do for you?
I feel like this question should be more towards what it can't do! Through Reiki's teaching i've been able to facilitate healing energetic blocks, cutting energetic cords that unknowingly attach to us, help others gain passion, find light into what was a dark seeming world, and to help release physical traumas. All this amongst more. Whether you are going through something mentally draining, emotional turmoil, physically painful, or spiritually lost Reiki is able to open and heal us to move past it all. Through its healing healthy touch fill us with the purest of light. As long as you're willing to commit to your own healing and growth on a daily no matter the struggles it might bring. A small warning I will let you know and have experienced. Reiki will always work though the more open and ready you are to shift it the more it will benefit you. Though only you know when you're ready to commit to your healing. So when you're ready Reiki is there to help you heal on all levels.
Lastly I'd like to share with you The 5 Reiki Principles that all practitioners are taught and follow by:

To all that are on this beautiful journey let it be known that the universe/world loves you and wants you to shine the brightest version of yourself. Know that Reiki and all other healing practices are tools to help us grow, learn, and allow us to find our true souls enlightenment. With that Namaste, from your White Witch.
