Reiki works by releasing energetic blockages. To understand how Reiki works, we need first to understand:

  • what is the energetic blockage
  • how it is created
  • how Reiki therapy affects blockages and why

Ayurveda teaches us that our body takes the energy (Chi, Prana, Ki) through the system of marma points. Marma points are located on the skin. The marma point system is similar but not identical to the acupuncture points system. Each marma feeds specific organs with energy. Without energy, organs cannot function properly. A Reiki therapist helps to restore the flow of energy.

We experience life through emotions. Emotions, according to Ayurveda, are energies. These energies are moving into our bodies through a specific block of marma points. Experienced and well-trained Reiki therapists always do an evaluation to determine which marma point to touch.

When we block the emotion because it is too bad or too shameful, we stop the marma point from accepting the energy and marma points become inactive. Inactive marma points cause organs to malfunction without the inflow of energy.

During a Reiki session, a therapist does a detailed evaluation:

  • how the client’s constitution changed
  • what organs show energetic weakness
  • what emotions are difficult to process
  • what emotional weaknesses are encoded in DNA

This information helps the Reiki therapist to find the best marma point to address with Reiki.

When Reiki is applied to a blocked marma point, it provides it with balanced energy. It helps to reawaken the inactive point and provides it with good energetic “nutrients.” Regular Reiki sessions stabilize marma points so they can start taking energy by themselves and restore the uninterrupted flow. With time, uninterrupted energy flow helps organs to restore functionality.

Let’s look at this case and see how Reiki therapy was used to help this client achieve a perfect balance in personal and professional life.

This client decided to seek Reiki therapy because of poor sleep. He heard that Reiki therapy is good for relaxation.

The evaluation shows that:

  • the client’s mind became too excitable because of unprocessed emotions of grief and fear – the client told us that he lost his mother to a car accident at a very young age
  • organs of the heart, small intestines, lungs, and stomach showed energetic weaknesses – the client confirmed that he has IBS and is prone to upper respiratory infections
  • the client’s mind has a predisposition to sadness

Reiki was applied to marma points associated with grief, sadness, fear, digestive system, heart, and lungs. The client was taught how to meditate and do deep breathing exercises.

After regular Reiki sessions, the client reported better sleep and general calmness. He liked the effect of Reiki sessions and decided to go on the monthly maintenance plan. After a year of Reiki, he reported that he noticed he does not get cold a few times a year anymore and his digestion calmed down.

As Reiki therapy was applied on a regular basis, inactive marma points were stabilized. Stable marma points provided weakened organs with a constant flow of energy. It helped the client’s body to bring weak organs back into balance.

Reiki works by restoring the uninterrupted flow of energy to organs.
