What Is Reiki Therapy?

What Is Reiki Therapy?: Seen as an alternative energy healing technique that originated in Japan, the creator and first practitioner of Reiki was Mikao Usui, a renowned Tendai Buddhist, in the early 1900s. 

Reiki practitioners (also called ‘reiki healers’) lay their hands on you gently (sometimes called ‘palm healing’ or ‘hands-on healing’), or hover them above you to direct the flow of universal energy and stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.

Because it works on the entire self – mind, body, and emotions – it may be useful for you in all types of physical and emotional problems and mental and spiritual healing issues. 

According to therapy practitioners, energy can stagnate in your body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain.

Over time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Over time reiki therapy is used to help you become more actively involved in your own health

You might feel deeply relaxed after reiki healing, and some people experience sensations like tingling, warmth, or seeing colours or patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Reiki Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in their life, and understand yourself better.

So what are therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, and different types of behavioural disorders, to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.
