This is a common question when someone hears about Reiki for the first time. It is a tool that works. Experiments and research have been done to measure the results and its effect, but even there is no scientific proof of how, there is an assumption that it works. In some countries, reiki and nature walks are prescribed as natural antidepressants and ways to improve mood. From personal experience I want to share that first I experienced it and then I believed it, I loved it and I wanted to know more about it. Many people experience it that way. Once you feel and understand it, you are not interested in explaining how and why it works; you know it works. Simply by physical touch or remotely, the energy ray is automatically activated from the healer to the receiver.

During a Reki session some people feel a lot, they let themselves relax and trust the process. On the other hand, some other people report that they feel nothing special the first few times when the mind travels to different thoughts and expectations for the healing process from descriptions of others. For each individual the experience is totally different, they need to trust it for themselves and let it work. No matter what, Reiki flows, cleans and unblocks what it is to be unblocked each time.

What is described can only be felt experientially. Before anyone is interested in learning this technique, it is important that they have received it as a treatment themselves. Of course, attunement without previous experience is possible.

Many times, with Reiki we manage to soften painful symptoms e.g. in menstruation. It helps detoxify and strengthen the immune system. It helps to achieve better balance in all aspects of our lives. It boosts our intuition.

Reiki can not hurt. However, as we work with issues that are unresolved, may come back to the surface, and face challenges in order to be led to the positive changes a person desires.
