What is the difference between Reiki and reflexology?
Reflexology is used to target known areas of physical discomfort, and Reiki takes the treatment deeper. When deliberately combined, the relaxation is often much deeper and may also create a quicker response time. Individuals who are uncomfortable lying in a dim room with a practitioner standing over them should not participate in Reiki treatment. For some individuals, this may lead to anxiety or panic attacks.
How to activate Reiki?
To begin any Reiki practice, you must activate the energy within yourself. Close your eyes and take a few rounds of deep breaths. Imagine the crown of your head opening and a stream of healing white light flowing from the top of your head, into your heart, and out through your arms and hands. Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
