Reiki is widely used as a method for stress relief due to its calming and balancing effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Stress can manifest physically through symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue. Reiki has been reported to alleviate these symptoms by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the body. As the body relaxes, it can start to heal itself, reducing the physical impact of stress. Reiki practitioners believe that stress is often a result of imbalances or blockages in the body’s energy flow. By restoring balance, Reiki helps to clear these blockages, allowing energy to flow more freely. This balance contributes to a sense of well-being and reduces feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning "universal," and "Ki," meaning "life force energy." Therefore, Reiki can be understood as "universal life force energy."
