Your physical pain or emotional struggles are preventing you from living a fulfilling life
Whether you’re coping with trauma, psychological distress, or a chronic physical condition, you know that your pain is holding you back.
It makes it hard to succeed in your career, enjoy time with family, feel optimistic about your future, and live the life you’ve always envisioned for yourself.
You’ve tried implementing tips from self-help articles.
You’ve sought advice from friends.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing technique that’s used to promote physical and mental healing. Leveraging some of the highest spiritual energies on Earth, it’s based on the Eastern medicine concept that energy (also known as ki) flows through the body. If this flow of energy gets blocked or impeded by trauma, challenging experiences, or physical imbalances in the body, it can reduce well-being by negatively affecting thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health.
In Reiki, a practitioner channels energy to the client to identify and clear these blockages, thereby restoring the natural, free flow of energy. When this flow of energy is restored, the body can tap into its natural ability to heal.
Why use Reiki?
Reiki complements and enhances techniques used in psychotherapy by helping you achieve a grounded state and be present in your body. This creates a peaceful and safe space in which you can truly listen to your mind, body, and soul and get to the root cause of psychological and physical symptoms. By helping you feel relaxed, it also makes it easier to confront trauma and other difficult experiences effectively so that you can release the energy associated with them. Furthermore, by inducing mindfulness, Reiki makes it easier to detach from the negative thoughts and judgments that underlie your symptoms and limit your progress.
How can Psychotherapeutic Reiki help me?
Psychotherapeutic Reiki is a form of individual therapy that combines Reiki treatments with more traditional psychotherapy techniques. Unlike the use of psychotherapy alone, it allows you to consider and address the physical roots of stress, depression, other forms of psychological distress, and trauma. This is critical because some psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, are caused by chronic pain or other physical imbalances. It’s natural to ignore or avoid these physical symptoms or problems, but this tends to only intensify them. Reiki allows you to be present in your body so that you can mindfully and compassionately identify these physical problems and the psychological and emotional symptoms associated with them.
Once you and your therapist have identified these problems and symptoms and corrected the corresponding energy imbalances, standard psychotherapy interventions can help you address negative thinking patterns, reduce maladaptive behaviors, and resolve trauma. In particular, they give you the tools and support you need to replace these negative ways of relating to yourself and the world with positive thoughts and healthy habits. Ultimately, these transformative changes allow you to feel happier, love more deeply, and experience greater success.
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki is used to provide relief from a number of psychological and physical symptoms and conditions, including insomnia, gastrointestinal distress, and migraines. Scientific research shows that it’s particularly effective in treating stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
More generally, Reiki can do the following:
-
- Relieve physical and psychological pain
- Boost your mood and energy
- Reduce stress and enhance relaxation
- Give you the means to safely uncover and process trauma
- Help you change negative behaviors and habits
- Allow you to build deeper and more loving relationships
- Provide greater comfort during surgical, cancer, and palliative care
Why do you integrate Reiki and Psychotherapy?
Incorporating Reiki into psychotherapy has a number of benefits over using psychotherapy alone:
First, traditional psychotherapy downplays the role of energy and the body in the development of psychological symptoms. As a result, it doesn’t treat the energy blocks that underlie these symptoms. Adding Reiki to psychotherapy makes it possible to overcome this limitation by providing the tools to identify and resolve energy blockages.
Second, by allowing you to feel more grounded in your body, Reiki makes it easier to understand and appreciate the mind-body connection associated with your psychological symptoms. This awareness of the relationship between psychological symptoms and physical conditions or imbalances is critical to promote healing.
Third, because it reduces stress and induces relaxation, Reiki can make psychotherapy easier to engage in. This is especially useful when discussing trauma or other challenging experiences.

FAQs
During a Reiki session, you either sit or lie down fully clothed. Using healing energies, your therapist will scan and address energy blockages in your body. This can be done without any physical contact. Depending on the goal of a particular session, the session may be calming and relaxing or highly interactive.
Yes, you can participate in a Reiki session in person, by phone, or via videoconferencing. Because Reiki does not require physical contact, it can be just as effective when performed remotely.
Reiki can make psychotherapy easier, more efficient, and more effective by offering a holistic approach to healing and creating a safe, relaxed space for working through trauma and other challenges. However, it is not a substitute for psychotherapy. Traditional psychotherapy interventions play a critical role in the therapeutic process by helping you address negative thoughts, painful memories, and maladaptive behaviors and replace them with positive thinking, compassion, and healthy habits.
Although Reiki is based on principles rooted in Eastern medicine, it’s becoming increasingly popular as a therapeutic technique in Western medicine. For example, when they surveyed US hospitals, the Samueli Institute and Health Forum found that 42% of hospitals offered complementary treatments, such as Reiki. Reiki is also frequently used in clinic and hospice settings.
