Reiki Healing for Beginners: Unlocking the secrets of aura cleansing

Reiki is the healing therapy created by a Japanese Buddhist named Mikao Usui over a hundred years ago, is based on a simple spiritual principle: we are all guided by the same invisible life force that controls our physical, mental and emotional well-being “being”. When the energy flows freely, we can draw on reserves of unknown power. When you come across blockages (often caused by negative thoughts, untreated trauma or stress overload), we operate at a sub-optimal level.

This may seem like voodoo magic to some, even non-believers who have spent an hour with a skilled Reiki master (as they are called) have felt a positive change of some kind. Many describe Reiki sessions as a combination, a light touch of energy over the body as calming or rooted, for others, seems like an emotional realignment.

Reiki masters, like Kelsey Patel, have been training for years to understand and navigate small changes in energy, but Patel says that anyone can learn (quickly) to work with energy and influence the flow of others.
