Reiki Around the World

Reiki mirrors and utilizes the seven chakras to help support and facilitate an environment for all bodies to heal on a variety of levels – physical, mental and emotional. It only seems natural to incorporate Reiki into a vacation, as that’s normally a time for people to take a break from the real world and focus on themselves, which is a cornerstone of the practice.

Reiki is a Japanese natural spiritual healing art that strengthens energy. The word comes from the Japanese word (Rei) translating to universal life and (Ki) meaning energy. Much like when chakras become blocked or hidden, Reiki works to produce strong and free flowing energy to promote a balanced and healthy mindset.

Reiki is used to reduce stress and stimulate relaxation through each session. A Reiki session typically consists of hands-on or hands-off approach, whichever the recipient is most comfortable with. The Reiki practitioner will position hands at each energetic point creating a pleasant, relaxing and invigorating energetic experience. Each session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and will lead to an environment to facilitate healing.

Reiki isn’t affiliated with massage, religion, belief or curing diseases. It is a complementary health approach supporting natural healing capabilities. Implementing Reiki to coincide with the chakras can be accomplished by the following:

• Aromatherapy
• Meditation
• Yoga

There are hotels and spas around the world to help extend Reiki during a vacation. Here are some that you can book on VAX:
