Everything is Energy: The Science Behind the Spirit

Einstein explained it best with his famous equation, E=mc^2. He showed us that energy and matter are just two different forms of the same thing. The coffee cup in your hand, the kitchen light above your head, and every cell in your body. It is all energy. And, all are vibrating at their individual frequencies. 

So, when we write about the buzz phrase of Reiki - Universal Life Force Energy (or "Ki" in Reiki that is pronounced 'key') - we are talking about the very fuel that keeps your heart beating and your mind thinking - ENERGY! 

When the Flow Gets Stuck

Think of your body’s energy like a beautiful river. When the water is crystal clear and moving, the ecosystem of the river thrives. But when life happens  - work stress, trauma to the body, mind or spirit whether that be physical injury or emotional, it's like fallen branches and debris, muck that damns up the flow. The water is no longer clear and moving freely, it's stuck. 

At Let It Go With Reiki, we believe that when your "river" gets blocked, you start to feel:

  • Physical Fatigue: That "heavy" feeling that sleep doesn't fix.

  • Mental Fog: Difficulty making decisions or feeling "stuck."

  • Emotional Burnout: Feeling like you’re constantly reacting to the world rather than living in it.

  • Anxiety: Overthinking; you are on a continual negative loop that you can't escape

How Reiki Restores the Flow

Reiki practitioners act as a "tuning fork" for your body. By channeling that universal energy, a practitioner helps vibrate those "energy dams" loose - supporting the release of what has your body stuck in places. 

When you lie down for a session, you aren't just taking a nap (although this has been known to happen); you are allowing your body to realign with its natural frequency. As Einstein hinted, if you change the energy, you change the matter. By shifting your energetic state, your physical body can finally begin its natural process of healing.
