What is Reiki and Energy Healing
The Roots of Reiki & Energy Healing
For thousands of years cultures across the world have understood that everything is made of energy and that when this energy flows freely the body and mind naturally find balance. Ancient traditions from China, India, Japan and beyond all share practices to support this flow: from meditation and breathwork to hands-on healing.
Reiki, (pronounced Ray-Key) is a gentle, hands-on energy healing technique that originated in Japan in the early 1900s by Mikao Usui. He reawakened this simple yet profound way of channeling universal life force energy through the hands to bring comfort, ease and renewal. Reiki is not tied to any religion or belief system, it simply works with what is already within you, helping to release stress, restore balance and activate your body’s natural healing ability.
What to Expect in a Session
Each Reiki session is gentle and guided. You may notice warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or even emotional release. Nothing is forced and your body will naturally take what it needs. Over time Reiki can help you feel more embodied, calmer, clearer and more resilient in daily life.
When I offer Reiki and energy healing, I see it as reconnecting you to something you already carry — your own inner light, wisdom and capacity to heal.
The Science Behind Energy Healing & Distant Healing
Quantum Connection
In physics, quantum entanglement shows that two particles can remain connected across vast distances. A change in one instantly affects the other. In the same way, Reiki/energy healing practitioners and clients remain energetically connected through intention and focused awareness.
We Are Beings of Energy
Every cell in the body emits energy and energy, forming a subtle electromagnetic field. When stress or trauma disrupts this field, we feel out of sorts and oftentimes, physically ill. Practices like Reiki help restore flow and balance, allowing the body’s natural healing processes to work more effectively.
The Backster Effect
Research has shown that plants respond to human thoughts and emotions. This suggests our energy, intentions and feelings create measurable effects supporting the principle of energy healing.
Your Body as a Magnet
As Dr. Joe Dispenza explains in Becoming Supernatural, the Earth is a magnet with a north and south pole, surrounded by a vast electromagnetic field. Our bodies mirror this design. The brain (north pole) and the base of the spine (south pole) are connected through our own energy field. When we are in a state of chronic stress or emotional turbulence, we draw energy from this field rather than generating it. This blocks the flow of energy, reduces the body’s electrical charge and weakens the energetic field around us, potentially leading to illness. But when energy flows freely, the body becomes more energy than matter, efficient, aligned and capable of deep healing.
In simple terms: just like tuning into a radio frequency, Reiki helps us connect with the body’s energy field, gently bringing it back into harmony.
Reiki in Hospitals
Reiki is increasingly being integrated into hospital and clinical settings around the world as a complementary therapy that supports patient care.
Research at Hartford Hospital (Connecticut, USA):
86% of patients reported improved sleep
78% experienced less pain
80% experienced reduced nausea
Globally, Reiki is now offered in hospitals and clinics across the US, UK and Australia:
The UK’s NHS employs Reiki practitioners, particularly in oncology care
California Pacific Medical Center offers Reiki alongside acupuncture and aromatherapy for both acute and chronic conditions
This recognition highlights Reiki’s ability to support physical, emotional and psychological well-being during illness, recovery and stress.
Reiki and Cancer Treatments
Finding Comfort and Support Through Reiki
Chronic pain can be overwhelming, affecting not just the body, but also the ability to work, rest and enjoy everyday life. With cancer diagnoses on the rise, many patients are seeking gentle, holistic ways to support their healing journey alongside conventional treatments.
Reiki, a non-invasive and calming energy therapy, is increasingly being integrated into healthcare systems across the UK, USA, and Europe, including within the NHS and oncology departments. It’s helping patients manage pain, reduce stress and improve overall quality of life.
Because Reiki is safe and causes no side effects, it can be offered at any stage of a cancer diagnosis. Whether you are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment or in remission, Reiki can provide moments of peace and balance. It’s also shown to ease anxiety, lift mood and promote relaxation, especially important when facing the emotional and physical challenges of cancer.
You don’t have to walk this path alone. Reiki is one of many ways to feel supported, seen and cared for on your healing journey.
Testimonial
Moon Feather7 - Claudia
I have been receiving Reiki healing sessions from Berenice over the last few weeks as I am stage 4 cancer and currently on chemotherapy. Berenice has been treating me in the comfort of my home as well as doing distant healing. I cannot put into words how this has helped me cope with pain except to say that I am able to feel this beautiful healing and loving energy. After each session I feel pain free, calm and so supported and loved.
Berenice keeps in contact, checking in to see how I am coping on all levels as this illness affects all areas of your life. Berenice is a compassionate, caring soul and healer, who believes everyone is their own healer and her passion is to help those who need healing but also to teach and help remind us that we are all healers.
Berenice has also been there for my children and mom helping them cope with what they are going through during this difficult time and I thank her for this. I am forever grateful that our paths have crossed xxx feeling blessed
