At the core of everything is energy.
I have always known this to be true. It was during a transformative visit to my grandmother’s home island of Mauritius that I first encountered Reiki at the age of 12. I vividly remember receiving Reiki from a local healer, and in that moment, a spark of desire to share this profound gift with the world ignited within me.
However, as time passed, that encounter began to feel like a distant dream rather than a tangible memory.
It wasn’t until I found myself at an ayahuasca ceremony six years later at 18, seeking knowledge and wisdom, that Reiki reemerged in my life. In that sacred space, a kindred soul recognized the blockages residing in my heart and solar plexus chakras and offered Reiki as a solution. As I experienced the healing power of Reiki and harmonized my own energy, the deep-rooted desire to share this transformative practice resurfaced once again.
That marked the beginning of my personal Reiki journey, as I dedicated myself to studying and practicing this ancient energy healing art. The significance of my own experiences with Reiki has fueled my passion for delving deeper, learning, and helping others on their own healing paths.
QUESTION: Have you ever had a Reiki healing session?
So, what exactly is Reiki?
What is Reiki?
The word reiki combines two Japanese characters: rei, meaning universal spirit, and ki, roughly translating to vital life force energy. Reiki is an ancient energy healing practice originating from Japan that promotes relaxation and reduces stress. A Reiki practitioner facilitates the delivery of the energy to you, the healing partner, through light touch or by lightly hovering over the body at a slight distance, which promotes energetic balance and well-being within the body, mind, and spirit.
The subtle energy known as ki in Japanese is what is referred to as chi in Chinese and prana in Sanskrit. This energy is the infinite and pervasive life force energy that brings life to all things in the universe. Ki is organized in energy systems and structures like chakras, auras, and meridians. These energy systems and fields are penetrable and can interact with each other within individuals, between individuals, and their environment. This allows universal energy to be received and exchanged in more than just Reiki.
Reiki is based on the idea that the imbalance of energetic flow within the body can lead to sickness, stress, and even emotional imbalances. If your life force energy is low this can also contribute to the state of your body, mind, and spirit. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or sometimes even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Improving the flow of energy in and around the body can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
With the blessing of reiki, I can remove harmful energies that may throw your chakras and aura off balance. By channeling reiki energy through me, I can assist healing partners in their healing process by alleviating any energetic blocks and removing stagnant energies.
It is important to note that Reiki is a complementary treatment, and is best complimented by lifestyle changes like diet and movement, such as yoga, dancing, and meditation to name a few.

How exactly does Reiki work?
Since everything and everyone is made of energy, energetic flow must remain balanced. Energetic flow can become unbalanced, overactive, underactive, and even could become blocked if not tended to and maintained properly.
When energy is unable to flow through the body properly it can cause a lack of ease in the body, mind, and spirit – you’ll often hear energy healers refer to this as dis-ease. Much like medical doctors work with dis-ease in the body, Reiki practitioners and other energy healers work to balance dis-ease in the body, mind, and spirit to allow the optimum expression of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional health.
When reiki energy is channeled it brings balance to both the practitioner and the “healing Partner” through a principle of physics known as entrainment.
Entrainment occurs when two objects vibrating at different frequencies are placed near each other they both begin to vibrate at the same frequency locking into phase or entraining.
Think of it as a synchronization between the two objects. Entrainment happens all around us all the time. An example in nature is when a fallen stick has landed in a river or stream, the stick moves no faster or slower than the current of the water. It would take more energy for the stick to move faster or slower than the current. In this example the river would be the Reiki practitioner, the current of the river is the Reiki and the stick is you, the healing partner.
Reiki isn’t just for humans, Reiki can be used to help reduce stress and promote relaxation and healing to all animals, as well as attune objects to certain frequencies, creating energetic talismans for healing and protection.
Essientially…
The benefits of Reiki are vast, ranging from a deep sense of peace and calm to physical healing, improved sleep, and spiritual connection. It is a gentle and non-invasive practice that can benefit anyone.
