Energy healing is a subject that is unknown to many people. Others may have heard about it but may not truly understand what it is or how it can be helpful to them. The Japanese healing art of Reiki uses energy to heal a person’s body, mind and spirit of whatever is ailing them. The Whole Life Center of Kansas City offers all levels of classes about energy healing with Reiki, both in person and online. If you are interested in finding out how to use life force energy to heal yourself and others, Reiki may be right for you.

The last year has been long, dark and torturous for people all over the world. The pandemic has brought fear and dread to millions, and has negatively impacted us all. Even if you haven’t been sick or lost a loved one, the daily grind of enduring such a disaster can take its toll on you. Even before COVID there was plenty to be concerned about. The world is a chaotic place, and sometimes we need to take a break from it to care for ourselves and those we love.

If the storms of life are bringing you down spiritually and emotionally, it can begin to impact your physical health. Stress, anxiety and depression can overwhelm even the strongest of us at times like this. Energy healing techniques such as those you will learn in a Reiki class can help you support and defend yourself and others from the negative energy of the world around you.

Energy healing has been in use for more than 2000 years. It is based on the belief that good health is achieved through maintaining the proper flow and balance of life energies. Likewise, imbalances in energy may cause illness or depression. The laying on of hands is a form of energy healing whose use has been widely recorded through the centuries. The Bible mentions it as a way to convey blessings, affirm authority and bring healing and Jesus himself used the divine power of his touch to heal the sick.

When we use Reiki to perform energy healing, we access the divine healing energy of God, the Universe or Source, depending upon how you experience it. We use symbols, and other tools to guide and enhance this healing energy flow. Learning to use this energy allows us to aid ourselves and others. This energy is so powerful that it can even be given across distance and time!
