The Basics Regarding Reiki Massage

By Beverly C. Ralph


In the modern world, many people are living fast-paced and stressful lifestyles that do not allow the body to fully rest. There are numerous options for those interested in relaxing physically and mentally. Reiki massage refers to a practice that is said to do just that. The practice itself is a type of energy medicine from Japan. It has been adapted and altered in many ways since it was developed in the 1920s.

There are two key branches of this practice: traditional Japanese and western. The differences between these two may vary considerably. However, a main difference is that the westernized forms employ systematized placements of the hands rather than relying on intuition for hand positions, which is seen in Japanese practices.

Both branches include a hierarchy of degrees. These include first, second, and teacher or master. All are linked with different skill sets and techniques. People who want to be involved in this practice are encouraged to learn all that they can about it. Likewise, they should do research to find local practitioners with the best ratings, costs and available services.

When the body is released and free of stress and worries, it can function to its full potential. That includes its natural ability to heal from various ailments. These treatments may offer balance on every level. Those with optimal health can still benefit from these procedures, as they assist the body in building defenses against various illnesses. Others dealing with anxiety, pain and other ailments can benefit from this.

Reiki is different than what most consider to be traditional massage. It works to open up various pathways in the body to allow for blood and energy flow. In some instances, a hands-off method may be utilized and particularly helpful for those suffering with pain following surgery or an injury. Because there are so many different forms of this, it is difficult to measure the level of effectiveness. Still, this might be a solution for those interested in non-invasive and more natural options for wellness.

The word for the practice is derived from two Japanese words meaning the wisdom of God or a higher power and life force energy. This treatment is believed to work on the whole body of a being, including the physical self, mind, emotions and spirit. It can elicit feels of relaxation, peace, well-being and security.

Though linked to spirituality, this is not believed to be a religious practice. Still, it may be beneficial at putting some in touch with their spiritual side or religious beliefs. Mikao Usui is known as the founder of this system for natural healing and recommends that those who practice this also promote harmony and peace in their daily life.
