10 Health Benefits of Reiki
A recent randomised, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled study sought to understand the therapeutic effects and Reiki benefits by measuring:
- Heart rate
- Diastolic and systolic blood pressure
- Body temperature
- Stress levels.
Zilda Alarcao’s research showed that patients who received Reiki exhibited significant improvements compared to the control group “in general, physical, environmental, and social dimensions of quality of life”.
Balances Your Organs and Bodily Functions
Although the physiological mechanisms of Reiki are still being investigated by mainstream sceptics, there is a vast body of anecdotal and small-scale research evidence that Reiki restores balance in your body.
The Japanese “rei,” means universal, and “ki,” means the life force running through energy fields supporting the health and vitality of all living things. When these medically acknowledged biofields are blocked, physical and physiological issues arise. Reiki masters sense energy blocks and use healing paths to improve the flow and balance of energy within your body.
Supports Natural Healing
Maintaining this natural equilibrium gives your body the opportunity to naturally heal itself. Balancing your body’s energy vibrational frequency improves your breathing, circulation, blood pressure, heart rate, and other systems. The energy work reinforces your body’s ability to heal itself.
Re-Establishes Spiritual Equilibrium and Mental Well-Being
Reiki treats the whole individual, including your mind, body, and spirit, rather than simply your physical body. Thus, the positive spiritual energy exchange provided by Reiki is particularly effective in improving your mood and outlook on life. The healing that begins within you will have an impact on your decisions and outlook.
Promotes Creativity
Reiki leads to relaxation, decreased stress, and an easing of anxiety. Being free from these constraints allows you to tap into your creative potential.
Balances Bodily Energy
Your fight or flight sympathetic nervous system helps you respond to perceived danger. On the opposite side of the spectrum, your rest and digest parasympathetic nervous system slows you down so that your body can return to a balanced, homeostatic state.
Reiki helps to bring about rest and digest response to aid repair and healing. Not only does it help to restore your nervous system after a stressful experience, but it also helps to protect you from burnout and exhaustion.
Treats Causes and Symptoms of Illness
Energy healers regard Reiki as a catalyst to kick-start your body’s ability to heal itself. Chakra healing brings harmony and balance to your entire body.
But more important than treating merely the symptoms of illness, the powerful spiritual energy exchange of Reiki awakens a greater awareness of your body. Being more in tune with its needs inspires healthier lifestyle choices born of an appreciation and love for your physical self.
Promotes Relaxation
That Reiki helps one to simply “be” is something that many people appreciate. The session is a period of pure relaxation during which you can clear your mind of the stress and worry of the day. Reiki’s energy transfer can make you feel calm, relaxed, and lighter. It allows you to connect with your inner self for clearer self-reflection.
Detoxifies the Body
During Reiki healing, chakras – energy centres within your body – are “washed” with positive energy. Toxins, be they physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, are expelled in the process.
Strengthens Immune System
Your immune system is integral to your general health and well-being. The paradox, though, is that you need a healthy body to support your immune system.
Another distinguishing factor regarding your immune system is the need for it to be balanced. A runaway immune response can result in a cytokine storm (an excessive inflammatory reaction) and a self-directed immune response causes autoimmune disorders such as Addison disease and Multiple sclerosis.
Reiki and self-reiki supports the balance of your immune system by raising the vibrational frequency of energy within your body.
Enhances Personal Awareness and Intuition
Reiki meditation transports you to a deep state of relaxation. Being totally at ease reduces stress, tension, and anxiety, while stimulating grounding and balance.
This mental equilibrium boosts clear thinking, learning, and memory. Abandoning negative patterns of thinking opens up your insight and self-awareness. Replacing negative attitudes with positivity and serenity fosters greater intuitive abilities.
