Do you have an inner healer waiting for Ignite? Uncover the Power Within to Heal Yourself and Others? Explore the World of Reiki.

Your inner healer can tap into something profound—the idea that within each of us lies the capacity to heal, grow, and even help others do the same. Whether you’re asking this as a prompt for self-reflection, a book, or just exploring the healing arts, it can be mind-boggling when you have so many questions and don’t know where to begin. Most want to start as less intimidating as possible, which might begin with the laying of hands—Reiki.

 

Laying of the Hands Reiki

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, meaning “life energy.” Reiki is based on the belief that a life force energy flows through all living things. When this energy becomes low or blocked, people are more likely to feel stress or become ill. Reiki practitioners aim to balance this energy and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

 

Reiki Session Feels Comforting and Safe

A Reiki session typically involves a practitioner placing their hands lightly on or just above a person’s body in a series of positions, usually while the person lies quietly and fully clothed on a massage table. There is no physical manipulation, and no tools or substances are used. The practitioner acts as a channel for energy, intending to direct healing energy where needed. During a session, people often feel warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation.

 

Reiki Practices in Hospitals

Reiki is increasingly being integrated into healthcare settings, and many nurses are incorporating it into their practice to support patient care. Nurses who practice Reiki often use it as a complementary therapy to help reduce patients’ stress, anxiety, and pain. Reiki aligns well with these goals since nursing emphasizes holistic care—attending to the patient’s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. It can be instrumental in palliative care, oncology, and post-operative recovery environments, where comfort and emotional support are critical.

In clinical settings, nurses typically use Reiki as a non-invasive, gentle method to help patients relax and feel more at ease. A Reiki session performed by a nurse may involve a few minutes of light touch or simply holding their hands slightly above the patient’s body. Some hospitals and clinics have formal Reiki programs where trained nurses offer sessions. In contrast, others use it informally as part of their bedside care, often with the patient’s consent and awareness.

 

Who Can be a Reiki Practitioner

Anyone wishing to practice Reiki must undergo training and certification, usually starting with Level I Reiki and progressing to higher levels if they choose. Many find Reiki benefits people of all ages by helping them manage their stress and emotional fatigue, especially in high-pressure healthcare work, home, job, or educational environments. Practicing Reiki can enhance anyone’s ability to be present.

 

What Reiki Cannot Do

While Reiki is not a substitute for medical interventions, anyone can use it in a supportive, holistic healing role. Everyone who practices Reiki, including professional nursing organizations and hospitals, acknowledges its healing value, especially as more people seek integrative approaches to wellness that include the body and mind while connecting to their spirit.
