About reiki with Spirit Journey
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" combines two Japanese terms: "Rei," meaning "universal," and "Ki," meaning "life energy." This healing practice focuses on promoting balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit.
How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is based on the belief that life energy flows through all living beings. When this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalances. Through the laying on of hands or hovering just above the body, a Reiki practitioner channels universal life force energy to the recipient, aiming to clear blockages and enhance the natural flow of energy.
Benefits of Reiki
- Physical Well-being: Reiki can help alleviate pain, accelerate the healing process, and improve overall physical health.
- Emotional Balance: It is known for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, promoting a sense of peace and emotional stability.
- Spiritual Growth: Many find that Reiki supports their spiritual journey, fostering a deeper connection with themselves and the universe.
What to Expect During a Reiki Session
During a Reiki session, you will lie comfortably while the practitioner places their hands lightly on (only with your permission) or just above various parts of your body. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of relaxation as the energy flows. Sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes.
Why Choose Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic therapy that complements traditional medical treatments and other therapeutic practices. It is non-invasive, safe, and suitable for people of all ages. Whether you seek relief from specific ailments or wish to enhance your overall well-being, Reiki offers a path to harmony and balance.

Traditional Reiki
- Origin: Traditional Reiki originated in Japan in the early 20th century, developed by Mikao Usui.
- Philosophy: It is based on the idea of channeling universal life energy to promote healing and balance in the body.
- Techniques: Practitioners use hand placements on or near the body to transfer healing energy. Symbols and mantras are also used to enhance the flow of energy.
- Focus: The practice is generally more structured, with a specific set of hand positions and symbols learned through formal training and attunements.
- Attunements: Practitioners receive attunements from a Reiki Master, which are said to open up the energy channels in the body to better connect with the universal life force energy.
Shamanic Reiki
- Origin: Shamanic Reiki integrates traditional Reiki with shamanic practices, which have roots in indigenous cultures around the world.
- Philosophy: It combines the energy healing of Reiki with shamanic concepts like connecting with nature, spirits, and the Earth. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things.
- Techniques: Besides hand placements, Shamanic Reiki may involve the use of drumming, chanting, journeying, and working with spirit guides, power animals, and other elements of shamanic traditions.
- Focus: The practice is more fluid and intuitive, often tailored to the specific needs and spiritual context of the individual being treated. It may involve rituals and ceremonies that are unique to the shamanic tradition being integrated.
- Attunements: While attunements may still be part of the process, there is a stronger emphasis on personal spiritual development and direct experiences with shamanic practices.
