Reiki Energy Healing & Vital Energy
Reiki – The life force energy which surrounds and enlivens all and everything
The omnipresent non-physical universal life energy that is inherent in any living being is the energy referred to by the Japanese as Ki. By the way, that’s where the name ReiKi (霊気 – illustrated Reiki word in Japanese characters) originated from and which literally translates spiritual energy.
The Chinese equivalent name is Qi pronounced Chi, western civilizations refer to it as Spirit, the Indian Hindu call it Prana, In my opinion, these are all different terms used to clearly describe the very same thing: vital energy.
Energy Healing is based on metaphysical concepts and the existence of the life force energy has not yet been scientifically established. However, we must consider that this concept does not derive from modern times or what some may consider to be “new-age baloney”; its historical tradition dates back centuries.
Early cultures and civilizations in many parts of the world knew equally about the existence of this vital energy in our bodies and its influence on our health and well-being.
Each culture developed its own method of interacting and manipulating the life force energy, as their own energy healing art modality. It is believed that the imbalance of energy can have an enormous impact in all areas of our lives, favoring the circumstances for the manifestation of (dis)ease. A balanced energy yet empowers us to live a much healthier fulfilling life.
There are many well-known modalities which work with energy to promote well-being, such as
- Acupuncture
- Yoga
- Tai Chi
- Feng Shui
- Qigong
Acupuncture is one of the most common forms of energy healing. The insertion of fine needles into certain meridians of a person’s body basically aims to unblock those energetic pathways, bringing back the energy flow to its natural state of balance.
Similar to Reiki Energy Healing (except the use of needles), the practitioner channels, controls, and manipulates the energy flow for the purpose of unlocking and clearing a person’s energy blocks.
