How Does Reiki Work? Understanding Energy Healing, Relaxation & Self-Healing
Description
Welcome to Episode One of the A New You Reiki Series — a beginner-friendly introduction to what Reiki really is and how energy healing supports the mind, body, and spirit.
In this episode, we answer the most-searched questions about Reiki, including:
“What is Reiki healing?”
“How does Reiki work?”
“Is Reiki safe?”
“What are the benefits of Reiki?”
“Does Reiki work with western medicine?”
“Should I get certified in Reiki?”
Reiki is a deeply restorative relaxation technique that helps the body release stress, rest deeply, and activate its natural healing response. When the body relaxes, the nervous system shifts out of fight-or-flight and into repair mode — awakening the immune system and supporting overall wellness. Reiki is complementary to western medicine, not a replacement, and is widely used alongside traditional care.
