REIKI
WHAT IS REIKI
Reiki is a form of energy alignment therapy that supports balance within the body’s energetic system. It promotes deep relaxation, helps release stress, and supports the body's natural ability to restore equilibrium. This approach works holistically—addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person—and often results in a sense of peace, clarity, and overall well-being. Reiki is a natural, non-invasive practice that anyone can benefit from as part of their personal growth and self-care journey.
GENDAI REIKI HO
There are many systems of Reiki, and Gendai Reiki Ho is one of them. Widely recognized in Japan and around the world, Gendai Reiki is a simple, practical method that can be easily integrated into daily life. It follows the path of spiritual improvement originally taught by Mikao Usui (臼井甕男), allowing practitioners to fully experience the healing and transformative benefits of Reiki in a grounded, accessible way. Usui Sensei believed that Usui Reiki Ryoho includes both physical treatment and spiritual practice. He trusted that a Reiki practitioner would intuitively decide which aspect to focus on. If Reiki is seen as physical treatment, the session targets the body, while if it's viewed as a spiritual practice, the session focuses on healing the mind and soul.
COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENT
Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that anyone can benefit from. It supports the body’s natural healing processes and has been known to help with virtually every type of illness or imbalance. Reiki creates a deeply beneficial effect—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—and works seamlessly alongside other medical or therapeutic treatments. Whether used to ease side effects, reduce stress, or accelerate recovery, Reiki offers gentle yet powerful support on your healing journey.
BENEFITS
Reiki offers a wide range of benefits that support your overall well-being—mind, body, and spirit. It helps restore balance and harmony within your energy system, promoting deep relaxation and relieving the stress that often builds up in daily life. Reiki gently dissolves energy blocks, encouraging your body’s natural self-cleansing processes and boosting the immune system. Many experience a clearer mind, improved focus, and better sleep after sessions. Reiki also supports self-healing, offering pain relief while nurturing your emotional and spiritual growth. Over time, it becomes a powerful tool for spiritual development and emotional cleansing, helping you return to your most authentic, vibrant self.
SCIENTIFIC INSIGHTS
Scientific research on Reiki, while still emerging, has shown promising and consistent results in key areas of health and wellness. Studies have found that Reiki can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and pain, particularly in clinical settings such as post-surgical recovery, cancer care, and chronic illness management. Research published in peer-reviewed journals like Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine and Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine suggests that Reiki may help lower heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and improve sleep quality by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. While more rigorous, large-scale studies are needed, existing evidence supports Reiki as a safe, non-invasive complementary therapy that enhances overall well-being and improves quality of life when used alongside conventional medical care.
REIKI IN THE MAINSTREAM
Reiki has garnered the attention of numerous celebrities and public figures worldwide, with both Hollywood and Filipino personalities advocating for its healing benefits. In Hollywood, stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Ellen DeGeneres have embraced Reiki as part of their personal wellness routines, often sharing their experiences to inspire others. Dr. Oz has even featured Reiki on his medical show, further legitimizing its place in mainstream wellness. In the Philippines, Reiki is gaining ground through influential figures like former TV and film director Rory Quintos, who transitioned into energy healing after a personal health crisis, and wellness advocate Stephanie Zubiri, who integrates Reiki into her holistic practices and motivational work.
