What is Reiki Healing? A Beginner's Guide to Unblocking Your Energy

What is Reiki Healing? - Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or emotionally drained? Do you feel like something is "off," but you can't quite put your finger on it? In our busy world, it's easy to feel disconnected from our natural state of balance and peace. If you're seeking a gentle, natural, and powerful way to restore your well-being, you may be ready to discover the world of Reiki.

My name is Divine Monica Harsh, founder of the Divine Energy Centre. For years, I have helped clients reconnect with their inner peace and power through holistic practices. Among all the modalities I offer—from Tarot Card Reading to Candle Therapy—Reiki healing remains a foundational pillar of true wellness.

But what exactly is Reiki, and how can it help you? Let's explore.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced "Ray-Key") is a Japanese energy healing technique. The word itself is made of two Japanese words: "Rei," which means "Universal Life," and "Ki," which means "Energy."

Therefore, Reiki is "universal life force energy."

This is the non-physical energy that flows through all living things. When this energy is high and flowing freely, you feel healthy, vibrant, and connected. When this energy is low or blocked—often due to stress, trauma, or illness—you can feel sick, exhausted, and emotionally unbalanced.
A Reiki session is a simple, non-invasive method to help clear these blockages and restore your natural flow of energy.

What Happens During a Reiki Healing Session?

One of the most common questions I get from new clients is, "What will happen during the session?" The beauty of Reiki is in its simplicity and gentleness. You will lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table in a calm, soothing environment. As a Reiki practitioner, I will gently place my hands either lightly on or just above your body in a series of specific positions. There is no massage or manipulation involved.

As I channel the Reiki energy, you may experience a variety of sensations. Many clients report:
A feeling of deep, profound relaxation.
A gentle warmth or tingling sensation from my hands.
Seeing colors or images in their mind's eye.
An emotional release, like suddenly feeling lighter.
Many clients simply drift into a peaceful, meditative state or fall asleep.

Every experience is unique, but the end result is almost always a deep sense of peace, clarity, and balance.

The Top 5 Benefits of Reiki Healing

While the experience is personal, the benefits of Reiki are well-documented by clients around the world.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety: This is the most common and immediate benefit. Reiki activates your body's natural relaxation response (the parasympathetic nervous system), helping to melt away tension and quiet a busy mind.
Promotes Emotional Healing: Reiki can help you gently process and release buried emotions and past trauma, allowing you to feel lighter and more emotionally resilient.
Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Many clients find Reiki effective for easing physical ailments, including chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tension, by promoting the body's natural healing abilities.
Improves Sleep Quality: By calming the nervous system, Reiki can help you break the cycle of insomnia and achieve deeper, more restful sleep.
Balances Your Chakras: Reiki naturally flows to the areas where it's needed most, clearing blockages in your seven chakras (energy centers) and restoring harmony to your entire system.

How We Integrate Reiki at Divine Energy Centre?

Reiki is a powerful standalone therapy, but its true magic is revealed when combined with other healing modalities. At the Divine Energy Centre, we don't just treat symptoms; we look at the whole picture.

Reiki and Tarot Card Reading: Have you ever had a Tarot reading that pinpointed an "energy blockage" or emotional pattern? We use Tarot as a divine diagnostic tool. A reading can identify the root of your imbalance, and a follow-up Reiki session can then be precisely focused on healing and releasing that specific blockage.

Reiki and Candle Therapy: We also use Reiki-infused intention candles. Each candle is charged with specific Reiki energy—for healing, for abundance, for protection. Using these candles in your own meditation or during a guided Candle Spell session can amplify your healing intentions and continue the work long after you've left our centre.

Are You Ready to Heal??

You don't need to "believe" in Reiki for it to work. You only need to be open to the possibility of feeling better.
Reiki is not a religion or a dogma. It is a simple, compassionate practice that reconnects you to your own innate ability to heal. If you are tired of feeling stressed, stuck, and disconnected, I invite you to schedule your first Reiki session.
Come experience the divine energy that flows within you.
