Understanding Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that involves guiding energy through a person’s body to balance and promote relaxation and wellbeing. Developed by Mikao Usui in the 1920s, Reiki aims to clear blockages and restore energy flow, improving health and mood. Reiki practitioners use light touch or hands hovering above the body to help channel healing energy, encouraging relaxation and inner harmony. At Connecting Mental Health, we provide access to experienced Reiki practitioners across Australia, ensuring individuals can integrate Reiki into their wellness journey.
Reiki is a holistic therapy that focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. The practice is rooted in the belief that energy flows through all living things, and disruptions in this energy can lead to stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. Reiki helps restore balance by guiding energy through the body, reducing emotional tension and fostering a sense of calm. This non-invasive technique is suitable for individuals of all ages seeking emotional support and relaxation.
