Reiki and massage are essentially two separate
things. While Reiki is the art of holistic healing that uses universal
life force energy, massage is the practice of rubbing or kneading
different parts of the body for restorative and invigorating purposes.
Reiki therapists, who are also trained in massages, combine the two
practices many times for better health results. You can also see
certified massage therapists usually take classes of Reiki, to gain
knowledge of energy usage and encourage spiritual and physical
well-being in their treatments.
Said to have started in Tibet ages ago, Reiki massage therapy was
introduced to the western world in 1970's. In this therapy, life force
energy is directed by Reiki Massage practitioners in a particular
pattern, to restore the body. Actually Reiki massage starts from the
head and makes its way through seven chakras of the body. The
practitioner just places his hands above the recipient and energy itself
gets channelized to treat the body. In this too, the treatment is only
possible when the recipient is willing to receive that healing energy.
Reiki massage helps to reinstate order to the body whose fundamental
energy has become deranged, thus contrasting other healing therapies
anchored in grounds of human energy field. It is really effective,
causes deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the
system, provides new strength in form of healing energy and augments
body's vibrational frequency. It is different from normal massage, since
the practitioner doesn't knead the muscles of the patient. Instead the
practitioner's hands remain still while healing energy is sent via
channels into the patient.
You need not worry about the Reiki massage treatment as it is
absolutely safe and harmless. In fact, there is nothing in it which can
make you uncomfortable. You will be fully clad because there is no need
to have skin-to-skin contact in this treatment. Some can feel a
sensation of warmth or tingling whereas a feeling of relaxation and
balance can be experienced by others. It is also possible not to feel
anything at all since, it varies from person to person. Thus, Reiki
massage is another holistic practice to deal with pain and augment the
quality of living.
