There can often be gentle pressure or "laying on of hands" with this style of healing. However, touch is not necessary for Reiki to work, as it can also be sent over great distances to assist with a wide variety of issues and situations. It has been used to assist the healing process for everything from allergies, headaches, injuries, insomnia, fertility issues, addiction recovery, depression and anxiety, and even serious terminal illnesses. Reiki can also help to improve and heal the energy in spaces and homes. Again, it works on literally everything and can bring great pain relief, emotionally or physically, for those who experience it with a qualified practitioner in a session.
Many people have asked me how exactly Reiki works. I will give a simple overview here. If we examine the body and how it functions, both our hearts and brains create electricity and utilize electrical impulses to send messages throughout the body. When there is a problem with those messages or the electrical connections, pain, numbness, weakness, anxiety, depression, or even serious illness can occur as a result. Reiki works with the body and its electrical field (often in conjunction with applying gentle pressure to the same areas that acupressure/reflexology or acupuncture would work with) to bring about total wellness and increased healing time. Reiki essentially encourages the body to effectively heal itself from the inside out. As an added benefit, many people experience a great sense of calm or warmth and profound relaxation upon receiving a Reiki treatment session.
Here are just a few of the areas in which I have personally utilized Reiki energy healing work to assist clients with great, even miraculous results:
