Reiki

At Aura Light Therapy, we believe healing begins from the inside out - and Reiki is one of the most gentle yet powerful ways to restore balance, reduce stress, and support emotional and physical well-being naturally.

Rooted in Japanese spiritual practices, Reiki is based on the concept of universal life force energy. In Japanese, Rei means "spiritual" or "universal" and ki (also known as chi or qi) means "life force energy." Reiki can be understood as spiritually guided energy that promotes harmony across mind, body, and spirit.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner channels this energy through their hands to the client, either with light touch or just above the body’s energy centers, or chakras. Sessions take place fully clothed in a peaceful, private space, and are deeply calming. Clients often report sensations such as warmth, tingling, subtle energy movement, emotional release, or visual imagery. Some may even fall asleep which is perfectly normal. Each session is entirely unique, but clients usually leave each session feeling much lighter and more relaxed

Reiki is offered in over 800 hospitals across the United States, as well as hospice and wellness centers, to support healing, reduce physical discomfort, and enhance overall well-being. It can ease emotional blocks, promote better sleep, calm the nervous system, and help mitigate side effects from medications or treatments like chemotherapy. It strengthens the immune system and supports the body's natural healing process. Reiki is widely regarded as a safe, gentle, and non-invasive healing modality with minimal to no side effects, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and health conditions. While Reiki is a powerful complement to a variety of wellness practices, it is not a replacement for traditional medical care or your physician’s guidance.

The effects of Reiki tend to be cumulative. Much like regular meditation or exercise, consistent Reiki sessions allow your energy system to open up and respond more deeply over time. Acute conditions may shift quickly, while chronic issues often benefit from frequent sessions, especially at first. Receiving Reiki on consecutive days can also jump-start the healing process. There’s no risk of “too much” Reiki, it’s an intuitive energy that goes where it is needed most.

Whether you're coping with anxiety, burnout, grief, or simply need a moment of stillness, Reiki offers a nurturing space to ground, reset, and restore.
