Our Red Bank facility provides Reiki and additional forms of massage treatment at one hour and one and a half hour sessions.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a form of ancient Japanese energy healing that focuses on the manipulation of Ki, the Japanese version of Chi. “Rei” means “spirit” or “free passage” and “ki” means “universal life energy”. Reiki was developed in 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui after a 21 day retreat on Mount Kurama, involving meditation, fasting, and prayer.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It has become a widely used form of alternative medicine. The basic idea of Reiki is that our bodies have an energy field. This energy field is the key to its health and proper functioning. It travels through pathways that can become weakened or blocked.

Reiki works with the seven energy centers, or “chakras”, that are believed to be connected to the nervous and endocrine systems. It is completely natural and promotes healing by allowing the “blocked” energy within us to flow freely. When our energy is low or blocked by stress or illness, Reiki helps to unblock that energy and promote healing. It allows our body to work in a more harmonious way so that we may be happier and healthier. It helps to connect and align the body, mind, and spirit – as a whole.

What does Reiki Involve and How Long Does Treatment Last?

Reiki involves the practitioner using a sequence of hand positions on the patients’ body; however, it can be done without directly touching the patient if they desire or if the patient cannot be physically touched. The goal is for the trained Reiki Practitioner to detect and alleviate problems in the patients’ energy flow on a physical, spiritual, and emotional level, thus relieving pain and stress and improving health.

A typical Reiki session at Monmouth Pain and Rehabilitation lasts about an hour to an hour and a half. The patient lies fully clothed, typically on a massage table, while the practitioner focuses on giving healing energy to the patient. In each position, the hands are held still, unlike in massage, and the patient and practitioner attempt to stay positive, aware, and open to healing. Patients must have a proper attitude for Reiki to work effectively and they must want to be healed. Dr. Usui believed that a healing attitude was free from fear and worry and full of gratitude for life and others around us. In this mind set, anything is possible. He believed – and wants others to believe –

"The secret method of inviting good fortune…
The marvelous medicine for all sickness…
Just for today:
Do not be angry
Do not worry
Be grateful
Work with integrity
Be kind to others.” –Dr. Mikao Usui
