In 2018 the “Journal of Holistic Nursing” reported Reiki was effective in improving sleep quality and reducing stress in patients with chronic pain. In 2017 study published in the journal “Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice” found Reiki was effective in reducing anxiety and depression.
According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body wherever there is any emotional pain or physical injury. Reiki practitioners act as a middle ground between you and energy forces. Energy travels from their hands to you, and more specifically the areas of focus.
Reiki master (who has undergone formal training in this healing art) uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy (what's known in Reiki as life force energy) through the client's body to reduce stress and promote healing. As the practitioner works, you may feel a warm, pulsing energy coming from his or her hands. “All these sensations are very comforting, and they don't mean anything other than that the Reiki [energy] is really flowing.
Research suggests Reiki helps the body return to a state of relaxation, which allows it to potentially better heal from damage brought on by stress, injury, or disease. To begin any Reiki practice, you must activate the energy within yourself. Close your eyes and take a few rounds of deep breaths. Imagine the crown of your head opening and a stream of healing white light flowing from the top of your head, into your heart, and out through your arms and hands.
One of the most common experiences reported by those who undergo Reiki therapy is the appearance of colors. These colors can be seen with the eyes closed or open, and they can vary in intensity, brightness, and hue. The colors that you see during Reiki are not random, but rather, they are believed to be related to your chakras.
Chakras are energy centers in your body that are associated with different emotions, physical sensations, and spiritual states. The colors that are most commonly seen during Reiki treatment sessions are mauve, purple, pink, white, gold and blue and are all associated with our upper chakras, spiritual awareness, opening and connection. Seeing colours is a beautiful experience and it is due to vibrations that a person experiences these colours.
- Red: This color is associated with the root chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. Red represents passion, energy, and vitality.
- Orange: This color is associated with the sacral chakra, which is located just below the navel. Orange represents creativity, joy, and enthusiasm.
- Yellow: This color is associated with the solar plexus chakra, which is located just above the navel. Yellow represents confidence, self-esteem, and personal power.
- Green: This color is associated with the heart chakra, which is located in the center of the chest. Green represents love, compassion, and healing.
- Blue: This color is associated with the throat chakra, which is located in the throat. Blue represents communication, self-expression, and truth.
