What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that aims to support the body’s natural healing processes and enhance overall wellbeing. It involves the light, intentional placement of hands either on or just above the body to help balance the body’s energy systems. Reiki is often used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation.
This therapy may be particularly helpful during times of physical illness, emotional distress, or recovery from medical treatment. Individuals often seek reiki to manage symptoms such as anxiety, chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, or low mood. It is also used to support individuals coping with life transitions, grief, or psychological burnout.
Evidence-Based Insights
Although reiki’s mechanisms are not yet fully understood, emerging research supports its potential benefits as a complementary approach in healthcare:
- A review published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine (2017) reported that Reiki may be associated with reductions in pain, anxiety, and stress, as well as improvements in overall quality of life.
- Clinical studies suggest Reiki may activate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to physiological responses such as lowered heart rate, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced relaxation.
- Reiki has been integrated into various healthcare settings, including oncology, palliative care, and mental health services, where it is often valued for its calming effects and ability to enhance patient comfort and wellbeing.
Reiki is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment, but it may be used alongside conventional care to support a more holistic approach to health.
