what is reiki?

*Note: Hypno Mojo practices Distance Reiki online. The beneficial results are identical to in-person Reiki sessions.

The term “reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things.  Reiki is a complementary health approach in which practitioners place their hands on or just above different areas of the body. It’s based on an Eastern medicine belief that living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality. 

Energy blocks, on the other hand, impede innate flow of energy, causing not only health problems, but also negative life circumstances like financial troubles or relationship problems, according to belief. Energy blocks of any living being can be treated, according to belief, which is why some practitioners also work on animals and plants. Reiki practitioners focus on sensing energy blocks and moving the energy for the greatest good of the client. 

While reiki can easily be done in just about any setting, a typical reiki session takes place in a relaxing environment, hospital room, or online.  Remote healing where practitioners aren’t even in the same building as the client are equally as productive as in person.

Usually a session lasts 30 minutes to an hour. The client and Reiki Master discuss areas to focus healing. The session may begin with a short meditation, and then the practitioner uses various hand movements to scan and send Reiki energy to various parts of the client's body. Throughout the session, the Reiki Master focuses specifically on their intention for healing.

The Reiki Master will set a positive intention for whatever the client needs are at the moment that would serve their highest good.  Letting the universal energy of Reiki go where it needs to for the highest good of the client.
