Mental fatigue, emotional overload, daily stress... More and more people are turning to gentle, natural approaches to regain harmony. Among these, Reiki stands out for its simplicity, depth, and ability to reconnect each person to their own vital energy.

Much more than a healing technique, Reiki is a true path to inner transformation . In this article, discover how this ancient practice can improve your well-being and how a session takes place.

 

What is Reiki? A universal energy for well-being

The word Reiki comes from Japanese:

• Rei means “universal energy”
• Ki refers to the “vital energy” specific to each living being

It was Mikao Usui , a Japanese spiritual master from the early 20th century, who structured this method of energy healing. The principle of Reiki is simple: channel universal energy to promote energy circulation in a person, relieve tension, and restore balance between body, heart, and mind.

Reiki is neither a religion nor a belief. It is a secular, caring energy practice accessible to all .

 

What are the benefits of Reiki on the body and mind?

The benefits of Reiki are numerous and are part of a holistic approach to health. This practice is particularly indicated for:

🟡 Immediate physical and mental relaxation

From the first minutes of a session, you feel a deep sense of relaxation. Reiki acts on the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and tension and promoting a meditative state.

🟡 Emotional release

Stagnant or repressed emotions (sadness, anger, fear) can gently dissolve. Many people report a feeling of lightness and clarity after a Reiki session.

🟡 Chakra rebalancing

Reiki acts on the energy centers (our chakras), it allows to harmonize the circulation of Ki (vital energy) throughout the body.

How does a Reiki session take place?

A Reiki session lasts on average between 45 minutes and 1 hour. It can take place in the office or remotely.

🟢 Before the session

The practitioner takes the time to talk with the person, to listen to their needs or ailments, and to set an intention for the session.

🟢 During the session

The person lies down, dressed, in a calm atmosphere. The practitioner places his hands above or lightly in contact with different areas of the body (head, chest, stomach, feet, etc.).
No physical manipulation is performed. The energy circulates on its own.

🟢 After the session

It is common to feel deep inner peace, great fatigue (like an energetic reset), or sometimes emotional release. This is part of the process of inner harmonization .

Does Reiki really work?

Many people ask this question. Here are some answers:

• Thousands of positive testimonies report relief, a return to inner calm, and better recovery after emotional or physical shock.
• Some clinical studies are exploring the effects of Reiki, particularly on stress, pain, and anxiety. The results are encouraging, although not yet recognized as scientific proof by conventional medicine.
• The most important thing is personal experience : it is a practice that does not require you to believe in it to work, but simply to be open to relaxation and reception.

 

What are the 5 principles of Reiki? A philosophy for daily life

Beyond the sessions, Reiki is also an art of living . Here are the 5 precepts transmitted by Mikao Usui:

1. Just for today, I'm not getting angry.
2. Just for today, I'm not worried.
3. Just for today, I am grateful.
4. Just for today, I do my job honestly.
5. Just for today, I respect life in all its forms.

These principles are an invitation to cultivate inner peace, kindness, and awareness of the present moment.
