This ancient Japanese practice, steeped in tradition and spiritual wisdom, offers a pathway to inner peace, healing, and balance. Today, we delve into the essence of Reiki, exploring its origins, principles, and the profound benefits it can bring to your life.


What is Reiki?

Reiki, pronounced as "ray-key," is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, Reiki is founded on the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living things, and that this energy can be harnessed and channeled to promote healing, balance, and well-being.

The word "Reiki" itself is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning "universal," and "Ki," meaning "life energy." Together, they encapsulate the practice's focus on tapping into the universal life force energy that surrounds and permeates us all.


The Practice of Reiki

Reiki is typically performed by a trained practitioner who has undergone a series of attunements and teachings. The practice involves the laying on of hands, where the practitioner channels the universal life force energy and directs it towards specific areas of the body or the energy field of the recipient.

The experience of Reiki is deeply personal and can vary from person to person. Many describe feeling a sense of warmth, tingling, or a gentle flow of energy during a session. Others may experience a profound sense of calm, clarity, and relaxation.


The Benefits of Reiki

  1. Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Reiki is renowned for its ability to evoke a deep state of relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and tension from the body and mind.

  2. Emotional Healing: The gentle energy of Reiki can aid in releasing emotional blockages, fostering a sense of emotional balance and well-being.

  3. Physical Healing: While not a substitute for medical treatment, Reiki has been shown to support the body's natural healing processes, aiding in recovery from illness and injury.

  4. Spiritual Growth: Engaging with Reiki can enhance your spiritual awareness, fostering a deeper connection with your inner self and the universe.

  5. Balance and Harmony: By aligning and balancing the body's energy centers, or chakras, Reiki promotes a harmonious flow of energy, contributing to overall well-being.


Reiki offers a pathway to healing that is gentle, nurturing, and profound. By tapping into the universal life force energy, we open ourselves to the possibilities of balance, well-being, and spiritual growth. At Tangled Roots Herbal, we invite you to explore the beautiful power of Reiki and discover the transformative effects it can have on your life.
