Believe it or not, every human being is made up of energy, and Reiki is a gentle practice that taps into this universal life force energy, which is available to everyone at all times. Reiki is not about religion; it's about energy and healing. It's common to get energetically clouded by toxic people, poor choices, or negative thinking. When you sign up for a Reiki session, you're inviting assistance with energetic cleansing and balance.

A Reiki practitioner's role is to help you enter a receptive state, calming your nervous system, and grounding your energy. It's essential to trust your intuition when working with a Reiki practitioner. Feeling safe and comfortable with them is crucial because it determines whether you can fully open up to receive the healing energy. When you feel calm and safe, the benefits of Reiki are much greater.

Reiki is extremely grounding for the body. The human body has an electrical system, known as the nervous system, which Reiki practitioners are trained to perceive as the energy body. If your nervous system is frayed, it can wreak havoc on your physical and mental health. Grounding your energy through Reiki promotes healing and opens you up to the loving, universal forces that surround us.

People sometimes close themselves off to energy out of fear—fear from past experiences, rejection, or failure. However, Reiki is a pure, loving force that resonates with the same frequency as Jesus Christ, Buddha, the Holy Spirit, God, the universal life force in nature, or any other high-vibration belief you may hold. Reiki energy is pure, cleansing, and loving, gently helping you to open up and remember that we are all human.

Judgment and fear can block you from receiving love, and if you're harboring bitterness or resentment, it becomes difficult to see the good in life. That's why it's important to do your inner work—to face these feelings head-on, gain the wisdom they offer, and grow from them.

A good Reiki practitioner understands that they are not the ones creating or directing the energies. They are simply a channel for this energy to flow through. Their role is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and open your energy channels so that you, too, can receive the abundant energy that is always within and around you.

Receiving Reiki can help you remove the metaphorical (or literal, depending on your beliefs) demons that might be affecting your mind or life. The storms we face are often mental, but with the support, love, and acceptance of the right Reiki practitioner, you can navigate through them with more grace. Reiki helps you reconnect with yourself, find the silver linings, and feel the warmth and love of creation shining in your life once again.
