If you already practice Reiki or are considering trying it, it's worth learning about the crystals suitable for this practice, which can prove to be a real treasure.
Crystals for Reiki are becoming increasingly common because they can help support deeper healings.
They can help us clear chakras and balance the body's energy system.
First, let's take a look at reiki and its benefits, how it works and what it's for.
WHAT REIKI IS
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in the distant lands of Japan at the beginning of the 20th century.
The word "Reiki" is a combination of two Japanese words: "rei", meaning "wisdom of God", or "the higher power", and "ki", meaning "life force energy".
According to the International Center for Reiki Training, the practice is based on the idea that all living things have an invisible "life force energy" that flows through the body.
It is a spiritual practice like meditation and is used to promote relaxation, manage anxiety, pain and depression.
Just think, people have been practicing Reiki for about 2,500 years!
HOW DOES REIKI ENERGY THERAPY WORK?
Reiki therapy is a way of guiding energy throughout the body to promote the recipient's self-healing abilities.
The Reiki therapy session usually takes place in a quiet, private setting, however, treatment can take place anywhere.
During the session, the client sits in a comfortable chair or lies on a table and the practitioner will then place their hands over specific areas of the client's head, limbs, and torso.
She will typically hold her hands in these positions for 3-10 minutes and during this time a transfer of energy occurs.
When the practitioner feels that the heat or energy in their hands is gone, they will remove the hands and place them on another area of the body.
REIKI BENEFITS
Reiki practice, in addition to promoting relaxation, improves mood and sleep: A past study found that some college students who received six 30-minute sessions of Reiki reported greater improvements in stress, mood and sleep (especially those with higher anxiety and depression).
Reiki gives your body a break from the stresses of everyday life, helping you return to a relaxed state.
Once in this state, your body can stop being stressed and focus on healing naturally.
WHAT STONES ARE FOR REIKI
The most commonly used stones for Reiki healings include:
Light Quartz: used to balance the entire auric field
Amethyst: for balancing and opening the crown and third eye chakras
Citrine: used to balance the solar plexus chakra and to bring joy to the energy system
Rose Quartz: used to support the heart chakra
Red Jasper: balances the root chakra
Sodalite: supports the throat chakra
Aquamarine - used to bring a sense of calm to the body, mind and spirit
Of paramount importance to always remember to clean the stones used after each session.
Reiki crystals can prove to be precious allies if they are treated with care and attention.
AN INTEGRATIVE PRACTICE TO CLEAR ENERGY CHANNELS
Reiki is a very fascinating and interesting form of therapy but, like many other alternative practices is "complementary", which means that it is intended to work alongside and not instead of other medical and therapeutic techniques.
We always recommend using common sense and carve out a few minutes a day to devote to ourselves, but above all a way to keep our energy channels clean and efficient.
