Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of “life force energy,” or prana, by laying the hands on specific parts of the body. Reiki masters have successfully unlocked their free flow of prana. They can transfer the ability to use Reiki to students through a process known as “attunement”. Let’s learn how to integrate Reiki Healing into Your Yoga Practice.
Once your own prana is unlocked and you have the ability to use Reiki, you can use it on others or yourself. Focusing the life force energy on specific body parts may help heal injuries and promote overall good health and well-being.
