Reiki has been used for healing and meditation for thousands of years, but more recently is also being used to help aid weight loss. That may be all well and good, but does it work?
While there have been no clinical trials, may people say that yes, Reiki does work to help you lose weight.
The reason is thought to be because Reiki helps improve your blood circulation which in turn increases your metabolism. And you can improve on these results by meditating on your goal to help use your mental ‘energy’ to speed up the process.
Whether you believe this really works or not, it can help even the most jaded sceptics as it can help focus the mind, and we all know that the mind does help weight loss (by increasing your willpower and making your focus on your goals more clearly). It can also help you to change any bad habits or destructive behaviour that might be hindering your weight loss efforts.
If you want to try some Reiki meditation for weight loss, sit or lie down in a comfortable position and use your hands to gently move over your body on your problem areas where you want to concentrate on improving your circulation and lose a few pounds.
Think about how the body is burning the fat and removing it via your body’s natural processes. The whole session should only take around 5 to 10 minutes a day.
Many Reiki practitioners also suggest not taking a shower immediately after a session as this can wash the energy away or wearing any metal or silver jewellery as this can absorb the energy.
