How the universal life energy sustainably improves our well-being
Everything is energy. Albert Einstein already knew that. Everything that surrounds you vibrates. Objects, words and thoughts are also energy and can therefore be influenced energetically. This is where Reiki comes in.
The word "Reiki" consists of two syllables: "Rei" means "universal", "Ki" stands for life force. Taken together, Reiki is the universal life force. This alternative healing method is intended to get it flowing again.
The energy healing method was rediscovered in 1922 by the Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It is based on the idea that the person initiated into Reiki serves as a channel for universal energy. By laying on hands in different positions or even by sending it into a distance, this energy is transmitted to the receiving person and reaches exactly where it is needed most.
Reiki can be applied in so many different ways
Reiki not only recharges your own energy reserves, it also promotes and activates your self-healing power. It also releases emotional and energetic blockages and cleanses the body and the chakras. A Reiki treatment promotes relaxation, harmony and well-being on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.
It is also a full treatment - which means that all hormonal systems, organs and main energy centers (chakras) of the body are covered. Through remote Reiki or a direct Reiki treatment, thoughts can be calmed, stress can be reduced and awareness, intuition and inner trust can be deepened and strengthened. Furthermore, the quality of sleep improves, the overall quality of life is increased, headaches and migraines are alleviated and emotional experiences such as traumas can be processed and resolved more easily.
A Reiki treatment can help you preventively to lead a holistically healthy lifestyle. You can use it if you are under a lot of stress, are ill or want to develop personally or spiritually. It accompanies you in situations of grief and gives you powerful support in challenging times.
In short: Reiki can improve your well-being holistically and sustainably.
The receiving person perceives in very different ways how the universal energy works within him: as warmth and cold, as tingling, as relaxation or as the perception of certain emotions.
For me, Reiki is a philosophy of life. Something that I use and embody every day. For me, it stands for awareness, mindfulness, loving togetherness and being present and connected. In my energy work, I let the energy itself guide me, place my hands and send my attention where it wants to go and where it is needed.
Here you can experience Reiki
If you would like to find out more about Reiki, please visit me on Instagram: I am currently holding an online community circle with Reiki, sound bath, rituals, yoga or breathwork. The topic and content differ from month to month, but the circle always ends with a wonderful long-distance Reiki for the group. This way you can not only find out more about Reiki, but also start to feel and perceive.
