What Is Reiki Good For?
Reiki is beneficial for so many things, and it is only the limits of our imagination that stop us from realising the potential.
I would like to highlight from my own experience and that of my clients, the most important things that Reiki is good for and how it can help you in your life.
The beauty of Reiki is that it flows from the healer and goes where it is needed and to the root cause of a problem. Not only does it help people, but plants, animals, difficult relationships, situations and even inanimate objects can benefit from the healing properties, which is pretty cool.
This post focuses on what Reiki can do to improve our health and well-being, as that tends to be of the most interest.
I would say the most common reason clients visit me for treatment is to help reduce their stress and anxiety; let’s start there.
Reiki for Anxiety & Stress
Reiki is perfect for inducing relaxation and can help gently release negative emotions; this usually induces further relaxation.
Clients have often commented that they felt all the tension and sensations disappear from their bodies to the point where they felt weightless. It can help bring relief from a foggy stressed mind, which can help relieve tension in key stress areas such as the head and neck.
Treatment sessions can relieve anxiety during the session but also help lessen the feelings of anxiety after treatment.
Reducing Pain
Whether it is knee pain or a migraine, Reiki can help reduce the pain, follow up sessions may be required as and when necessary. Whilst it can reduce the pain sensations. I have not seen a case where it has repaired irreparable damage, such as a joint with wear and tear.
Improve Your Relationships
Having Reiki sessions can help improve how you engage in everyday life. In contrast, previously, you may have just ‘reacted’ to a situation by getting upset/stressed/shouting etc. It can help clear negative emotions and energy built up around a relationship or situation, resulting in less emotionally charged reactions, thoughts and feelings. It doesn’t stop you from allowing these emotions to build up again; this is where doing work on yourself or the situation is required.
Reduce The Side Effects Of Medical Treatment
Reiki can help reduce the adverse side effects experienced by radiation and chemotherapy treatment. It is also known to help decrease recovery time after surgeries.
Good For “Stuckness.”
There are times in our lives when we can get stuck in a rut or feel that we are holding ourselves back and we struggle to see a way forward. This stuckness manifests in our energy field. Having a Reiki healing can be just the thing to get the energies flowing to help propel you forward by clearing these stuck energies which are holding you back. When clients have a healing they often feeling lighter like a weight has been lifted.

Reiki healing in Palliative Care
Giving Reiki to those who are terminally ill and are suffering stress and pain towards the end of their life can be very comforting. In the palliative care situation Reiki is given to help bring peace, calm and acceptance to the person who is suffering and also potentially bring clarity and ability to manage pain. Each experience is individual, but I would like to share with you an account of a terminally ill woman and a Reiki healer who helped her through the process of the last few weeks of her life. It is a beautiful and touching story. The story of Terri and Ellie
Reiki healing for Grief
Speaking from my own experience having lost both my parents at different times in my life. The first was my dad in my early 20s I had not been attuned and I’d never received Reiki healing when he passed. The grief was difficult to bear and traumatic in the intensity of the emotions. When I lost my mum, the grief was not any less but I was a now a Reiki Master and I worked with Reiki everyday and still do. I can only describe the experience as a peaceful and gentle grief. It wasn’t any less painful, It didn’t make it less painful and it didn’t take the grief away.
