What Is Reiki / Light Touch Therapy?

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy centered around passing subtle energy from one being to another in order to promote wellbeing. Variety of pressure, tissue manipulation, and quickness of movement are all used.

Reiki therapy taps into the infinite supply of healing energy in our universe. It transfers it to others by laying their hands directly or slightly above areas of the body. These regions usually include the head, shoulders, stomach, and feet, which absorb energy into the body’s chakras.

Reiki light touch does not require any equipment. It can be performed on those lying down, sitting up or standing, and through clothing. It helps to relieve tension, anxiety, and fear. Response to Reiki treatments vary from person to person, but most experience a deep feeling of relaxation and peace. Some people fall asleep during treatment, and awaken refreshed. Scientific evidence has proven that Reiki minimizes symptoms of illnesses and improves quality of life.

Trigger-point therapy: consists of stretching the myofascial tissue through sustained specific contact with pressure points, which helps to release tension and pain. Myotherapy is the diffusion of trigger points in muscles and the retraining of muscles to relieve pain. Trigger points are usually found in tight bands of muscle, which may radiate pain to other areas of the body. For instance, relieving a tense trigger point in the back could help to ease pain in the shoulder or to reduce headaches.

Shiatsu, meaning “finger pressure,” is a Japanese massage. It is a form of physical manipulation of acupuncture points and meridians, which channel vital energy. Working on the same principle as acupuncture, practitioners apply pressure to key points known as tsubos (Chinese acupuncture points) on the surface of the body to stimulate the flow of energy, called ki (qi or chi in Chinese).

The ki flows in meridians beneath the skin. The practitioner works with fingers, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet along the meridians to remove ki blockages or overactivity (called jitsu), to restore areas of ki depletion (called kyo), and to stretch and mobilize limbs to facilitate the flow of ki. Tui na is a similar system derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Thai massage (nuad borarn), is an ancient bodywork system designed to unblock trapped energy and to improve vitality by applying pressure along the meridian channels.

How Does Reiki Therapy Work?

Reiki therapy originated from Buddhist monks. “Rei” means “universal spirit” and “ki” means “life energy.” Therefore, Reiki literally means “universal life energy.” Reiki is referred to as an “energy medicine” therapy because practitioners believe that it can improve the flow and balance of energy. It is believed that energy imbalances or disturbances result in disease.

People undergoing Reiki therapy sometimes can experience tingling sensations, sleepiness, or relaxation. People with pain, nausea, or fatigue sometimes experience relief of these symptoms.
