How does reiki help

“[Reiki] is a spiritual practice, like meditation is a spiritual practice,” says Pamela Miles, a New York City–based Reiki master and researcher who has collaborated with the medical schools at Harvard and Yale to help develop Reiki programs there. Reiki, despite its spiritual components and roots, may be and is often used therapeutically (more on this later), including in a secular way.

It’s not a religion and is not associated with religious practice.

Reiki is taught at three levels: first-level practitioners can practice on themselves or others through light touch; second-degree practitioners can practice distance healing; and third-degree or master level practitioners can teach and initiate others into Reiki.

So, how does Reiki practice work? “The honest answer to that is: We don’t know,” Miles says. “Science does not yet know the mechanism of action.”

There are theories.

One popular theory involves a phenomenon known as the “biofield.” The biofield is an electromagnetic field that permeates and surrounds every living being. In humans, this field extends 15 feet or more from the body, according to Ann L. Baldwin, PhD, a Reiki researcher and professor of physiology at the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine.

The heart, for example, produces an electrical field — measured through an electrocardiogram, or ECG — to regulate heartbeats. The brain also produces an electrical field, though at a lower level than the heart. In fact, every cell in the body produces positive and negative electrical charges, which then create magnetic fields.

According to this theory, the interaction between two human magnetic fields may explain the effects of touch therapies like Reiki.

It is thought that the biofield is the energetic force that guides bodily functions, and that Reiki energy influences the biofield. “[The biofield] is thought to cause dynamic changes in its vibrational qualities that alter physiological and psychological functions in living beings,” Dr. Baldwin says.

Quantum physics is the study of how the incredibly small particles that make up matter, such as electrons (particles with a negative electric charge), nucleons (protons with positive charge, and neutrons, with no charge)

and photons (particles of light energy) behave, in an attempt to explain the interactions of energy and physical matter. Quantum physics may also help explain how Reiki practice works.

Quantum physicists, much to the awe of those who digest their findings, have found that these tiny particles of energy can be in more than one place at one time (both a wave and particle at the same time, depending on how it is examined),

and that thought or intention may change how the particles work.

In other words, the Reiki practitioner may be able to gather and direct biofield energy to the recipient through thoughts and intentions.

On its website, the NCCIH notes that there is insufficient scientific evidence at this time to verify the existence of this energy field.

What Are the Benefits of Reiki?

Reiki practice may help with a variety of physical and emotional problems, including insomnia, stress, depression, anxiety, and pain.

For example, research suggests that Reiki may lower anxiety, stress, and pain in people undergoing surgery. In a study published in 2017 of patients undergoing knee replacement surgery, researchers separated 46 patients into three groups: One group received three or four 30-minute Reiki treatments throughout their hospital stay; a second group received the same number of placebo (sham) Reiki sessions; and a third group received neither Reiki nor sham Reiki.

Every group also received standard medical care. Researchers found that those who received Reiki saw significant reductions in pain, blood pressure, breathing rate, and anxiety pre- and post-surgery and greater reductions than the other groups.

Reiki may also improve mood and sleep: A past study found that college students who received six 30-minute Reiki sessions reported greater improvements in stress, mood, and sleep (especially those with higher anxiety and depression), compared with the control group.

Other research suggests that Reiki and other forms of energy therapy may help patients with cancer improve pain control and anxiety levels, notes Cancer Research UK.

A main benefit of Reiki (which leads to a lot of other benefits) is stress reduction, Miles explains. “Our bodies cannot heal when they’re in a stressed state all the time.”

Reiki gives your body a break from the stresses of daily life, helping you return to a state of relaxation. Once in this state, your body is [potentially better] able to heal any damage brought on by stress, injury, or disease. “By helping a person experience deep relaxation, Reiki enhances and accelerates our own natural healing process, because the body can stop being stressed and focus on healing itself,” Maute says.

For example, past research shows that a single Reiki session may help your autonomic nervous system, the primitive part of your nervous system that you don’t fully, consciously control (it's responsible for things like heartbeat and breathing), move from a sympathetic-dominant, or “fight-or-flight” state, to a parasympathetic-dominant, or “rest-and-digest” state, Miles explains.

Your brain is constantly processing information in a region called the hypothalamus, which then sends signals through your autonomic nervous system to the rest of your body to either stimulate or relax different functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion, according to Harvard Health.

When you experience stressors like poor sleep, a confrontation with a friend, or even exercise, your sympathetic nervous system reacts, releasing hormones like epinephrine, among others, and increasing heart rate and blood pressure (the fight-or-flight response that gets the body ready to deal with potential dangers).

But when your body is constantly under stress (or is activated by prior more severe stressful experiences, such as trauma and resultant PTSD), this response can shift into overdrive, which can lead to problems like greater risk of heart disease.

“The parasympathetic-dominant state is the state we are meant to live in,” Miles says. And Reiki helps to support one’s autonomic nervous system toward that state of safety, rest, recovery, and ease.

In a past study, 21 healthcare professionals with burnout (a work-related mental health condition characterized by mental exhaustion, emotional detachment, and a lowered sense of personal accomplishment) received a 30-minute Reiki session with an experienced therapist, as well as a 30-minute placebo treatment with an inexperienced therapist who mimicked the Reiki treatment. The two treatments were separated by one week; participants were randomly assigned their treatment order, and they weren’t told which treatment they were getting during which session.

Researchers measured heart rate variability, or the variation in time between each heartbeat, to gauge how the nervous system responded to the therapy.

A low score indicates there’s little variability between heartbeats, signaling that the sympathetic, or fight-or-flight, component of your nervous system may be working overtime, and your stress level is high. Meanwhile, a high score means greater variability in between your heartbeats, and that the parasympathetic, or rest-and-digest, component of your nervous system has kicked into higher gear.

Researchers found that heart rate variability was greater following the Reiki session, which suggests (using a very quantifiable physiological measurement) that Reiki may help a stressed nervous system relax.

Keep in mind that Reiki is a form of complementary therapy per the NCCIH, which means that it is intended to work alongside — not in place of — other medical and therapeutic techniques. “Because Reiki is so balancing to the system overall, it can potentially benefit any situation,” Miles says — but should not be used as a substitute for other treatments your healthcare providers have prescribed.

Where Does Reiki Come From?

Reiki as practiced in the United States today was developed by the Buddhist priest Mikao Usui (known as Usui-Sensei) in the 1920s, according to the International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP).

The International Center for Reiki Training notes that there is evidence that other styles of Reiki were being practiced in Japan before Usui created his style, known as Usui Reiki, but these earlier styles weren’t widely known.

After three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama, a sacred mountain in the north of Kyoto, Japan, Usui claimed to have first experienced feeling Reiki energy.

Though he had been starving and near death from fasting, the burst of intense healing energy gave him a sense of vitality and awareness that he’d never felt before. Shortly after his experience, Usui opened a clinic in Tokyo to practice the healing technique.

Hawayo Takata, a Japanese-Hawaiian Reiki master, began teaching Usui’s modality in Hawaii in the 1930s, and it traveled to the rest of the United States in the 1970s.

As early as the mid-1990s, physicians, nurses, and other medical staff who had learned Reiki began using the technique in hospitals around the United States, and Reiki continues to expand as more and more people experience benefits from it.

Today, Reiki is used in both hospital inpatient and outpatient settings as a complementary therapy for surgery, cancer, and AIDS.

Bodner, who has practiced Reiki at the Cleveland Clinic for about 10 years, has seen interest in Reiki grow. “The knowledge level has increased exponentially over the past few years,” she says.

Who Might Want to Try Reiki? Are There Any Risks?

“There are no [reported significant] dangers in undergoing Reiki. Reiki can do no harm and has no side effects,” Baldwin says.

The only time Reiki practice can be dangerous is if the practitioner isn’t well trained, or isn’t truly practicing Reiki. Someone may claim to be practicing Reiki and instead be doing something risky or not practicing as a professional, Miles says. Remember, Reiki should never be an invasive treatment. Reiki practitioners should have worked in-person with a qualified Reiki master to be able to effectively deliver the treatment, Miles says. Reiki is often not covered by medical insurance, so there is the risk of cost that should be considered by anyone seeking to start.

Make sure you find a qualified professional Reiki practitioner (more on how to know whether someone is qualified or not below). It’s important to note that some patients may have an intensification of their symptoms temporarily, or could have an unexpected increase in nervous system activation, so if you have any known disorders such as more severe anxiety disorder, or PTSD, it could be useful to discuss with your primary mental health provider first. This can also be mitigated by building trust and sharing with your Reiki practitioner about any conditions you have and keeping the Reiki practitioner updated on how you’re doing throughout the session.

What to Expect at Your First Reiki Session

Reiki sessions vary in length, but they often last between 60 and 90 minutes.

You’ll spend the entire session lying fully clothed on a treatment table (this looks like a standard massage table), but if you’re pregnant or otherwise can’t lie flat, you may be in a recliner (check with your practitioner first), Maute says.

Miles recommends wearing loose, comfortable clothing for your session. Try to avoid wearing anything tight or restrictive. You may be able to change your clothes at the practitioner’s office if needed, but check beforehand. Dress in layers in case you get too warm or cool during the session, and keep in mind that the practitioner may have you roll onto your stomach at some point, so make sure you remove belts or other bulky items.

During the session, the practitioner will place his or her hands lightly on or near your body in a series of hand positions, including positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and the feet, as well as other positions depending on the client’s needs.

Each hand position is held for roughly 3 to 10 minutes, depending on what the client needs in each position.

The practitioner may or may not talk during the session, but typically there’s very little talking, according to Miles.

Expect to feel deeply relaxed during the session. You’ll likely daydream, and you may even fall into a light sleep. “Sometimes people will say, ‘Oh, I fell asleep,’ but I’m not sure it’s physiological sleep,” Miles says. Instead, she believes people enter a deep meditative state that helps restore the nervous system. Yet, personal experiences vary widely and can be related to many factors, including characteristics of the practitioner, so be open to whatever emerges for you and then discuss after the session with the practitioner.

How to Find a Reiki Practitioner and Get Started

Reiki practice is not regulated by states or the federal government; practically anyone can get certified online. “Online training and certifications are questionable, not standardized, and often not verifiable,” Maute says.

There are some reputable Reiki training organizations out there that offer certifications and licenses, such as the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), the UK Reiki Federation, the Canadian Reiki Association, the Association of Australian Reiki Professionals, and the International Association of Reiki Professionals, according to Baldwin. ICRT offers a directory of professional Reiki practitioners you can explore. Or you can google practitioners in your area and see if they’ve been licensed or certified by one of these organizations, and whether they also have a primary license to provide care such as a nursing, medical doctor, or acupuncture license.

The cost of a Reiki session will vary depending on where you go.

At the Cleveland Clinic, a 60-minute session (50 minutes of hands-on therapy; 10 minutes for intake) costs $60, according to Bodner.

Insurance may cover your Reiki sessions, but most likely you’ll be paying for it yourself. “I’ve seen one person’s insurance cover it, but it’s really rare,” Bodner says.

Insurance may cover Reiki if it’s part of your current treatment program, or when it’s given by a nurse or licensed care professional as part of routine care during a hospital stay, according to the Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality and Healing.

If you’re not sure, check with your insurance provider before your Reiki session.

What is Reiki, and Does it Really Work? – Cleveland Clinic

Maybe you’ve heard of reiki but don’t quite know what it is. Maybe you’re considering reiki but aren’t sure whether it’s right for you. Or maybe your doctor has suggested reiki as a form of therapy complementary to your existing medical treatments.

Whatever your questions, Reiki Master Victoria Bodner, LMT, is here to help. She walks you through the basics of reiki — a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of natural hands-on, energy-based healing — and what it can do for your body.

What is reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Mikao Usui developed reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.

“Reiki aids in healing by helping people become energetically balanced — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually,” Bodner says.

The health benefits of reiki

Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. It can:

• Bring on a meditative state.
• Foster tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.
• Stimulate your body’s immune system.
• Promote natural self-healing.
• Relieve pain and tension.
• Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis.

Studies show that reiki treatment may create feelings of:

• Peace.
• Relaxation.
• Security.
• Wellness.

Can reiki replace traditional treatments?

No. Reiki treatment should not be used as a substitute for the consultation of a physician or a psychotherapist.

“Reiki complements other types of medical and therapeutic treatments, and it can increase the efficacy of other types of healing,” Bodner says.

If you’re already in good health, though, regular reiki treatments can enhance your ability to respond to stress and serve as a form of preventive medicine.

What conditions does reiki treat?

“Because it works on the entire self – mind, body and emotions – and because it is universal life force energy, reiki may be successful in all types of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing,” Bodner says.

Reiki isn’t specific to any particular type of disease or condition but may help people with:

• Cancer.
• Chronic pain.
• Infertility.
• Digestive problems.
• Parkinson’s disease.
• Psychological distress, including depression and anxiety.
• Stress-related illnesses.

Reiki can also help you prepare for surgery, which may help boost your recovery afterward.

How does reiki work?

Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you.

“The patient determines the energy flow from the practitioner’s hands by taking only what they need,” Bodner says. “This helps the patient know that we are supporting them only in what they need rather than what we think they need. This makes it the perfect balance to meet the patient’s needs.”

Advertising Policy

What happens during a reiki session?

Reiki treatments typically last about 50 minutes. During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, as your reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. They use a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions.

“The length of time that the practitioner leaves their hands in each position is determined by the flow of energy through their hands at each location,” Bodner explains.

Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved.

What does reiki feel like?  

“You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands,” Bodner says. “Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all.”

Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during the process.

2nd Degree

After training and initiation to the 2nd Degree by the Master, the healer receives additional opportunities. His biofield is increasing even more.

The master gives the student the three basic symbols of Reiki.

The first of them helps to turn on the energy faster and more powerfully - a kind of switch, a knife switch.

The second symbol helps the emotional purification of a person. It helps to quickly get rid of stress, calms, harmonizes a person. With special use, this symbol can serve as a shield against the negative emotions of other people, protect against energy vampires.

With the help of the second symbol, you can clean the premises from energy "dirt". Can clean and charge water and food.

The third character allows you to send energy over distance and time. With its help, Reiki sessions at a distance become possible, when the person is far away from you. In addition, with its help, it is possible to heal negative situations that occurred in the past: the energy block that arose then due to negative emotions is removed.

The third symbol cleanses the human soul.

Among other things, with the help of all three symbols, it is possible to heal future situations that may arise in the future: meetings, meetings, etc.

For an ordinary person, the 2nd degree of Reiki in ordinary life is enough. Having received the 2nd stage, he becomes a powerful healer - an energy man capable of healing himself and other people.

Detailed Reiki Level 2 training will follow.

Master Degree

The Master Degree can be obtained by people who want to carry information about Reiki further. Who will be ready to teach other people the art of Reiki. Or those who are very much imbued with the idea and energy of Reiki, and who want to go through the entire practice to the end: to get the maximum effect and maximum opportunities.

Master initiation gives the new Master the right and opportunity to connect and attune other people to the Reiki energy, to make them Healers!

Instruction manual

Before I tell you how to connect to Reiki, you need to learn how to use this energy. It's like before using household appliances, you first need to study the operating instructions in order to get the maximum utility and not break the device.

The first most important safety technique is called “ Law of Free Will ."

You cannot help anyone until the person has given you his or her consent to help.

Sometimes you will have a great desire to help someone, but that person will not want to get help from you. So you don't need help. For example, a close relative has a headache, and you tell him: “Let me hold my hands on your head, and the pain will pass.” He answers

- No, don't. I'd rather take a pill.

- Why do you need to drink chemo. Let me help you faster pills and completely safe, environmentally friendly.

- No, I don't believe it - I'll take a pill.

Let him take his pill. Don't push too hard. Let him be helped by what he believes in.

It is still useless to try to help those people who love to get sick and turn to you to make sure that this will not help them - they are so hopelessly ill. They usually say this with sarcasm: “Well, come on, try it. But it still won't work." And they won't succeed, because they don't want to be healed, they don't even believe in the possibility of such a healing. They just love to get sick, tell everyone how they suffer from the disease, how hard it is for them. Thus, they receive the energy of sympathy. They don't need anything more. If they are healed, what will they cry about? What will they talk about and think about? Their whole life will change. And suddenly they will remove the disability, and in general you will have to go to work! This is completely unacceptable for them.

For everything to work out well, it is enough for a person to say: “Well, let's try – what if it works out?”. And if the ward himself asks for help and believes in a possible healing, then the results will be the most positive!

Then there is one interesting point. How do you get permission to heal from a small child who can't speak yet, or from an animal you want to help? They will not answer you directly with their voice and are unlikely to even nod “yes” or “no”.

In this case, mentally ask a child or an animal: “Do you want me to help you and give you energy for healing?” And wait inside yourself for some answer. It can be a yes or no thought. There may be some inner feeling that help is being accepted or not. And most of the time the answer is yes.

And then the following thought arises in my head: “Isn't it just my desire to help? Didn't I answer this myself? In this case, when referring to energy, simply say the following additional phrase: “If this person does not need energy or help is inappropriate for him, then let the energy go to someone who needs it.” And take it easy on the session. With such an additional clause, there will definitely not be a violation of the law of free will.

Eliminate the real causes of disease

Before sending energy to heal diseases, it is better to first learn and work out the true causes of the disease, the so-called psychosomatic causes.

Here on this page of my site there are three books devoted to the causes of diseases:

[broken link] http://life-energ.ru/books/

myself"". In this book, all diseases are listed in alphabetical order: it is very convenient to look for the cause. It also gives a diagram of how to get rid of the beliefs or emotions that caused the disease.

Principle of operation

Now let's study the principle of operation of the "device" - how it works. Those. where does the energy come from and where does it go.

Man is a fairly complex energy system. But in the most general case, energy enters a person from above, and exits from below. And the energy circuit is closed.

By applying this new practice, you can connect to the energy that is everywhere, and this flow of pure energy will enter the crown of your head in the same way, and you will direct it with the palms of your hands. Those. where more energy is needed - there you will put your palms.

Simple? Highly!

I had a toothache - they put my hands to my cheek. They hit with a knee - hands are there. If suddenly a fracture - put your hands there - the bones will grow together faster. Fibroids, fibroids, tumors - everything dissolves under the influence of this energy.

If you are simply very tired during the day, then give yourself a full session - deliver energy throughout your body.

How a session is conducted

Reiki is one of the easiest energy practices to perform. To conduct energy, you will not need to tune in for a long time, meditate, etc. See for yourself how simple it is:

1. Wash your hands before the session.

2. Call for help.

3. Channel the Reiki energy.

4. Thank you for your help.

5. Wash your hands after the session.

i.e. you washed your hands, asked for help with a special treatment, and immediately begin to conduct a session - put your hands where energy is needed. No lengthy settings. The energy will enter you through the top of your head and exit through the palms of your hands. You yourself will direct it to where it is needed. Everything is simple.

i.e. to start the energy transfer, you just need to ask for help, and the Reiki energy will go. And when after the session you thank for the help, the flow of energy stops.

It is very important to use the Reiki energy only when it is needed and stop it when the session is over. In some Reiki schools, they teach that a person tunes in to the Reiki energy channel in the morning, and walks all day connected and giving energy to everything. In my opinion, this is wrong, because. Reiki energy is very valuable and you can’t just walk around and scatter it around. Even having a lot of money, people don't go around and scatter it on the street, so how can you do this with the most precious subtle energy? I'm sure not.

Moreover, by distributing it to the right and to the left, everyone around receives energy. And did you ask everyone: “Do you need help?” Isn't it? Thus, the law of free will is violated - to help only those who have given their consent to help.

So, we connect to the energy only when we need its help with a request, and then we stop the flow, thanks for the help.

Safety

The most important thing before you begin to conduct energy is to wash your hands. On the one hand, it is for personal hygiene. On the other hand, water will wash away all those energy traces that you put on your hands when you grabbed door handles, pressed buttons, took money, etc. All this must be washed off the hands so that they are clean.

And before you go to wash your hands before the session, it would be very correct to say in plain text: "Now I'll go wash my hands." So that the person understands why you specifically leave, and that then you will touch him with absolutely clean hands.

It will also be right to remove from yourself and from the person whom you will help energetically, all metal restraints - rings, chains, bracelets.

Any metal limits the free circulation of energy in the body. Therefore, think about how to get rid of artificial limiters as much as possible in ordinary life.

And during the purposeful receipt of a powerful charge, restrictions must be removed.

Appeal to start a session

In order for the energy transfer to begin, it is enough to correctly ask for help. This can be done as follows:

“Reiki energy, Reiki energy, Reiki energy!

I ask the Reiki energy, the Reiki energy conductors, the Creator to come and conduct a much needed Reiki session __________ (name) here and now. I ask you to give him as much Reiki energy, in the quantity and quality as he needs. I ask for this in my and his free will for the benefit of all life on earth. I thank everyone for their help."

Moreover, it is not at all necessary to memorize this text of the appeal as a poem. You can also make requests in your own words. The main thing is to seek help from the "three instances": Reiki energy, Reiki guides and the Creator. And what words - it's not so important.

Initially, the text of the appeal for help was longer, and it contained a request for help to all ascended masters, to saints of all times and peoples, etc. My spirit guides have corrected this appeal, significantly reducing it. And if you think logically, then imagine that this more detailed appeal worked, and the entire army of ascended masters, saints of all times and peoples, etc., gathered for a regular session of energy transfer. They wouldn't even have a place to stay. And there is no need to call on such venerable souls, when to transfer energy it is enough to turn to the Reiki energy itself, to the Reiki Guides - the souls responsible for the transfer of energy, and to the primary source of everything - the Creator.

Therefore, I believe that the appeal that I gave at the beginning of this chapter is more correct.

Benefits of Reiki Music for Meditation and Healing

Reiki is not a passing fad or a temporary trend. This is an ancient technique that is offered in over 800 hospitals in the United States. The growing popularity of this direction is undeniable. We will do the research for you and tell you more about how this music can benefit your meditation practice. You will also find our recommendation for the perfect Reiki music.

What is Reiki?

Reiki means "universal life energy". This technique appeared in Japan in the late 1800s and involves the transfer of energy from the palms of the practitioner to the patient.

Reiki practitioners believe that there is an energy force around the body and in the human body itself. Reiki therapy releases blocked energy and awakens the body's natural healing ability.

The Reiki system is based on seven main energy centers called chakras. In your normal state, energy should flow freely through your body, allowing you to be spiritually, physically and mentally healthy. When the energy path is blocked, you may feel unwell, feeling weak and in pain.

People who practice Reiki say it helps them reduce pain and muscle tension, speed up recovery, and improve sleep. Research is still looking for the exact results of the Reiki effect. However, many medical professionals believe that this technique helps to reduce stress and anxiety.

In addition to a stable emotional state, stress reduction and mental clarity, Reiki also helps to achieve inner peace, harmony and is a valuable tool on the path of spiritual development.

Using Reiki to Help Meditation

People who combine Reiki with meditation find it enhances their ability to find solitude. Adding Reiki to meditation means incorporating the energy element of your body into the practice. It is a way of using the energy and symbols of Reiki to focus and heal the mind.

Like most meditation practices, Reiki meditation begins with finding a comfortable spot, focusing on your breathing, and calming your mind. The difference is that you focus on the flow of energy through your body. You allow your body to feel this flow of energy and enter into a state of deep relaxation and renewal. You can add healing power through your hands.

Usui Sensei, founder of Reiki, taught that the first element of Reiki is Gassho meditation. Gassho means "two hands joined together" - a prayer position. The goal is to quiet the mind and create a single point of concentration in meditation. When your mind starts to wander, you gently squeeze your middle fingers to refocus.

There are many ways to combine Reiki and meditation, including Zen Reiki Meditation and Purification. It's important to find a practice that works for you.

Dual Healing - Meditation Music and Reiki

It is impossible to deny the fact that music helps us to relax. You can use meditation music during a Reiki session with a practitioner or during an individual meditation to experience deeper relaxation and healing.

If you have some soothing meditation music that you enjoy, let it relax you during your session. Reiki healing music is also useful in your daily life. If you are looking for a respite from mental and physical stress, turn it on at home or at work and find peace of mind.
