Reiki Explained: Healing Energy for Mind, Body & Spirit

Reiki Explained: Healing Energy for Mind, Body & Spirit

In this episode of JPF First Aid we revisit an earlier episode where we explore a holistic healing practice known as Reiki. Practitioners Karen Gibson and Lucy Jordan discuss what Reiki is, how it works to balance mind, body and spirit through universal energy, and the differences between in-person and distant Reiki sessions.

The benefits of Reiki for physical and emotional healing are covered, along with what clients may experience during a session. We share how Reiki can support health and wellbeing by reducing stress, aiding recovery, and providing pain relief through its healing energy.


Key Takeaways

Reiki is a fantastic way to boost your overall well-being by harnessing the power of universal energy to balance your mind, body, and spirit.


Both in-person and distant Reiki sessions can be super effective in reducing stress, promoting healing, and alleviating pain. Plus, you might be surprised by how it can also help you tap into your emotions and let go of stuck energy.


When you're receiving a Reiki session, you might notice some interesting things happening. You could feel a range of emotions surfacing, from calmness to excitement, as your energy gets cleared and balanced. And yeah, some people even report seeing colours or auras during the session - which can be a sign that your chakras are getting all aligned and harmonious.


Best Moments

"Reiki is calm. Every time I get Reiki or give Reiki to myself or friends or family, it is calm, it's about rest and restoring to it's just about calming yourself and others."


“…it's sadness, it's laughter, it's relief. If you've ever suffered with anxiety, you've got that horrible sort of not in the pit of your stomach, and your chest feels a little bit tight, like, just, it's relaxing. And it's, I know, we keep saying it, but it's just beautiful.”


“You have seven major chakras in your body that the you have one on your crown and this is a violet colour. You have one in between your eyebrows your third eye chakra This is Indigo, like a dark blue. You have your throat chakra which is a pale blue bright blue.”
