Reiki is basically from Japanese origin as a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that can also promote healing. It treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. The reiki technique is to bring wholeness in you and get rid of all stress whether they may be on the outside or in. The Reiki technique believes that if one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel the stress and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The purpose of this technique is to let your body unwind and release all tension. Let the aches and stress find release, it can be as simple as the practice of meditation where basic and proper breathing keeps the mind and body relaxed. There are various types of meditation, the most common being formal sitting is concentrated in keeping the body immobile and the attention controlled. Examples of these would be Zazen and Vipassana meditation; these elaborate on how a posture can affect our breathing and how our breathing can affect our body’s way to relieve stress. Other meditation techniques involves how a person treats the situations that happens to him/her, there are expressive practices where we are let to have anything happen and be happy with it.
If a person however has trouble with starting in their mental state, they may choose to begin in their physical state. A popular form is massage, where the body is set to unwind and different areas are relieved out of tension by applying just the right amount of pressure. The aim of a good massage is causing the body to feel loose and thus leading the mind that there is no more pain to think about.
Since massage involves putting pressure in certain areas of the body, it also needs careful and cautious movements since too much pressure may cause even more pain, which is why people should consult a massage therapist. A massage therapist is someone who is well educated on what joints and pressure points need a certain level of pressure and how to apply it. This would ensure a greater chance of healing and prevent even worse cases of tension.
