The popularity of Reiki in the US and around the world is constantly increasing. Yet, many people are still skeptical. The traditional Western way of thinking about health and wellness doesn’t leave a lot of room for the efficacy of alternative healing, energy work, and Reiki more specifically. But that’s changing and changing quickly. Even mainstream medical researchers see a continuing pattern of growth in Reiki clients. So, why do people seek a Reiki treatment?

10 Common Reasons Why People Seek Reiki Treatment and Energy Work in General

1. To reduce stress and the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic impacts of stress.
2. To improve concentration and mental clarity.
3. To clear blockages—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or energetic.
4. To boost physical or mental energy.
5. To achieve and maintain balance and integration.
6. To modify or change unwanted recurrent or chronic mental, emotional, or behavioral patterns.
