What is Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan, developed by Dr. Mikao Usui a Japanese Buddhist in the early 20th century. The term Reiki comes from the Japanese words "Rei" (universal) and "Ki" (life energy), and refers to the practice of channeling energy through the hands to promote balance and healing. Reiki is a non-invasive technique used to reduce stress, enhance relaxation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities

How Does it Work
Reiki works by channeling universal life force energy through the practitioner's hands into the recipient's body to promote balance and healing. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or near the recipient’s body, with the intention of transferring energy to clear blockages and restore the natural flow of energy. This process helps reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support the body's ability to heal itself—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The practice is based on the idea that when energy flows freely, the body functions more optimally. Learn More

Referenced evidence that validates the power of Reiki is referenced on the Benefits of Reiki page.
Awareness of Body & Mind Healing
More and more people are seeking holistic approaches to health and well-being, looking beyond conventional medicine to alternative therapies that focus on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Reiki, which promotes energy healing and balance, fits perfectly within this framework.
In addition, awareness of mind-body healing has grown significantly popular, in part due to figures like Deepak Chopra and Gabor Maté. Chopra's approach emphasizes the connection between consciousness, emotions, and physical well-being, while Maté's work highlights the role of trauma and stress in physical illness. Maté’s book "When the Body Says No" focuses on how emotional repression and unresolved trauma manifest as chronic illness, aligning with Chopra's holistic view of health.
Reiki Sandyford uniquely combines traditional Reiki techniques with a modern understanding of the mind-body connection, leveraging insights from figures like Dr. Joe Dispenza and Tara Swart to deliver transformative results. Learn More
Impact of Reiki on Body & Mind
Reiki works on both the mind and body by restoring energy balance. Dr. Joe Dispenza, a neuroscientist and author of "You Are the Placebo", emphasizes how energy and intention can influence physical health. Reiki helps harmonize the body's energy flow, reducing the impact of negative emotions such as stress, anger, and anxiety, which can disrupt the body’s healing mechanisms. By clearing energy blockages, Reiki promotes mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical well-being. Reiki Treatments Explained

Validation Research Mind & Body Connection
Research increasingly supports the mind-body connection. Experts in this field, as highlighted in the "Recommended Reading section," demonstrate how focused thought and energy can alter brain chemistry and lead to physical healing. For example - Deepak Chopra, a pioneer in integrative medicine, has extensively studied and promoted the concept of the mind-body connection. Drawing from both ancient Ayurvedic traditions and modern science, he argues that the mind, body, and spirit are deeply intertwined, and that mental states can significantly influence physical health. He believes that consciousness plays a critical role in healing, and that by aligning the mind, emotions, and body, one can enhance well-being.
