Reiki Energy Healing Guide
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique based on the principle that a therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.
The word "Reiki" is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

Guided Self-Healing Session
Follow these steps to conduct a peaceful and effective self-treatment session.
1. Create a Calm Environment
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. You can play soft, calming music or light a candle if you wish. Sit or lie down comfortably.
2. Set Your Intention
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Set an intention for your healing session, such as "I am open to receiving healing energy for my highest good."
3. Begin the Hand Positions
Start with the head positions and work your way down the body. Gently place your hands on each position, holding for 3-5 minutes. Pay attention to any sensations like warmth or tingling, but don't get attached to them. Simply allow the energy to flow.
4. Close the Session
Once you have completed all the hand positions, bring your hands to your heart center. Give thanks for the healing energy. Take a few more deep breaths and slowly open your eyes. Drink a glass of water.
