“Isn’t Reiki just the easy way out?” It’s a question that is often broached in wellness spaces, asked with curiosity or sometimes skepticism. In a culture that often glorifies struggle, sweat, and visible effort, a healing system that involves lying down, closing your eyes, and receiving gentle touch can seem… too simple.

We recognise that Reiki is a gentle healing energy and a complementary therapy that is safe to be used alongside more formal medical treatments, including the treatment of cancer.

Reiki might sound a little mysterious if you’re new to the world of energy healing — but at its heart, it’s beautifully simple, deeply soothing, and available to everyone. Let’s unravel it together.

One of the most powerful ways to cultivate self-love is by working with the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the centre of love, compassion and emotional balance, but when it is blocked, we may experience feelings of sadness, loneliness or self-criticism. 

Even if you have never tried Reiki before, you can still benefit from its principles. In this guide, we will explore what Reiki is, how it relates to self-love and how you can use Reiki-inspired techniques to transform your inner world and cultivate deep, radical self-love.

We know that practising Reiki reduces stress, promotes relaxation and spiritual growth, heals and increases physical energy, enhances the immune function and much more.

Reiki healing is a complementary therapy that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety and uses universal energy to bring your body into balance: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

The heart chakra, also known as Anahata, is one of the most important chakras in the body, as it is responsible for the energy of love, compassion, and connection.
