Reiki, pronounced (ray-key), translates to “universal life energy” in Japanese and is a vital component of energy medicine. Recognized as a biofield therapy, the National Institute of Health defines Reiki as a subtle energy field that permeates and extends beyond the physical body.
When the biofield is out of balance, it can manifest as disease, pain, fatigue, and other physical or emotional issues. Reiki and other forms of energy medicine at the Hobson Institute can restore balance to the biofield, enhancing mental and physical performance, boosting immunity, and promoting overall well-being.
Energy medicine is an integrative approach that incorporates the therapeutic use of subtle energies. While Western medicine primarily focuses on the body’s physical systems, energy medicine addresses the non-physical aspects that significantly influence health. By harnessing these subtle energy fields, energy medicine at the Hobson Institute helps bring the body’s systems—including neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, skeletal, and mental emotional—back to balance.
Understanding the Human Energy Field (HEF) is crucial in holistic health, as it integrates body, mind, and spirit, treating the whole person rather than just physical symptoms. The HEF consists of complex energy patterns, including electromagnetic fields (EMFs) created by oscillating particles of ions and molecules. Disturbances in these energy patterns can signal disease and aging. Energy medicine works by introducing coherent energy patterns, such as those used in Reiki, acupuncture, Healing Touch and other vibrational therapies, to restore these patterns to their natural, harmonious state.
Incorporating the principles of energy medicine into modern healthcare could revolutionize how we understand and treat the human body, uniting Western medicine with time-tested Eastern practices. The Hobson Institute is at the forefront of this integrative approach, bringing these powerful healing methods to our clients.
Energy medicine and Reiki therapy at the Hobson Institute offers a holistic approach to health, addressing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. These treatments are effective for:
During a Reiki therapy or energy medicine session at the Hobson Institute, you will lie on a massage table in a calming environment with dim lighting and soothing music. You will remain fully clothed, with shoes, glasses, and bulky jewelry removed for comfort. Sheets, blankets, and a bolster under the knees will be provided. Comfort is a priority, so any need to adjust your position or blankets during the session should be communicated to your therapist. It’s common to be so relaxed that you may feel you enter a meditative state during treatment.
Energy treatments often involve gentle touch, though a hands-off approach can be used for those who prefer not to be touched. This does not diminish the effectiveness of the treatment. Your therapist at the Hobson Institute will explain where touch might occur, with common areas including the head, neck, chest, abdomen, knees, feet, shoulders, and hands. Some sessions may involve turning over to access the back.
As the client, your active participation in the energy treatment and healing process is important. Setting a clear intention for the session and being open to the energy’s work can enhance the treatment’s effectiveness. Your therapist may guide you through breathing exercises, meditation, and other techniques to maximize the session’s benefits.
Life force energy flows through pathways in the body known as chakras, meridians, and nadis, as well as around us in the aura or Human Energy Field (HEF). Disruptions in this energy flow can impair organ and tissue function, leading to physical and emotional symptoms. By working with the HEF, energy treatments at the Hobson Institute restore the life force, rebalancing the body and often reversing symptoms.
During treatment, you may feel subtle waves of energy, warmth or coolness from the therapist’s hands, or see colors or visuals with your eyes closed. While these sensations are common, it’s also normal to feel nothing physical during the session, yet still leave with a sense of deep relaxation and inner peace. Reiki and energy medicine work on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual—so even if no physical sensation is felt, the energy may be working on a deeper level.
A typical session at the Hobson Institute consists of two parts: dialogue and table work. The dialogue helps you become aware of your energy field and provides tools to engage in your healing process. Together, you and your therapist may explore patterns or beliefs related to the issue at hand. The table work involves hands-on energy treatment, guided visualization and breathing tools to correct energetic imbalances and replace old patterns with a new, healthy mental, emotional and energetic framework from which to live.
No. Energy medicine at the Hobson Institute complements traditional medical or psychological care. It works in harmony with all other forms of healing, including drugs, surgery, and psychological care, enhancing their effectiveness.
Approach your session with curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to experience new things. Communicate any discomfort with language used that may conflict with your self determined beliefs. Energy treatments are meant to enhance your existing spiritual or religious practices and beliefs, not interfere with them.
