Reiki Healing in Singapore: How It Works & Getting Treated

5.0 / 5 from 95 reviews

Reiki Healing draws from the universe’s storehouse of subtle energies to rejuvenate and repair your mind and body.

What is Reiki Healing?

Reiki healing is an ancient practice from Japan that gained worldwide prominence in the past decades. Reiki is also known as Qi, Ki, and Prana in different cultures.

Inviting this subtle energy into your life positively influences everything you do. It can alleviate stress, restore vitality and calm your anxieties. These claims are not mere anecdotes; research supports the positive impact of Reiki on individuals who opt for reiki therapy.

Quantum physics has shown that everything in the universe is energy, be it the air you breathe or the human body itself. Scientists and ancient yogis alike have also recognised that an invisible energy field encapsulates the human body. Reiki is about harnessing this universal life force to direct energy towards your energy field for healing work.

How Does Reiki Work?

Ancient yogic philosophy divides the human being into 5 bodies or koshas. In ascending order, they are annamaya kosha, pranamaya kosha, manomaya kosha, vijnanamaya kosha, anandamaya kosha. Respectively they are translated as physical body, energy body, mental body, wisdom body, bliss body.

The mind or mental body needs no introduction. Everyone feels it separately from their physical body. The energy body is shaped similarly to your physical body and extends beyond it. This is how people can feel the vibes of a room before entering it. The energy body is what energy healing methods like acupuncture, qigong and reiki acts upon. The energy body is one layer above the physical body so it impacts the physical body.

Now, think of reiki as wireless charging, similar to how a wireless charger for cellphones work. Drawing it into your system replenishes this energy body. By healing the energy body, the physical body heals accordingly simply because everything in your body is interconnected.

Most often, reiki is applied to an intent such as “to resolve my migraine” or “for the best exam outcome”. Thereafter, you let it do its thing to the energy body. Alternatively, it can be directed to a part of the body for a quick localised remedy of, let’s say, a shoulder ache.

Is There Evidence that Reiki Works?

Several studies indicate its benefits in stress reduction, pain management, and overall well-being. A study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine found that Reiki is better than placebo. Reiki therapy significantly lowered stress and anxiety levels in patients undergoing medical treatments. Participants reported feeling more relaxed and experiencing reduced pain after Reiki sessions.

Another large-scale study examined the effects of Reiki on people who attend sessions with a private practitioner. Statistically significant improvements were observed… including positive affect, negative affect, pain, drowsiness, tiredness, nausea, appetite, shortness of breath, anxiety, depression, and overall well-being.

On the anecdotal front, there are many online reviews and testimonials that indicate the therapeutic efficacy of Reiki.

What to Expect in a Reiki Healing Session


A reiki healer is a practitioner who has been attuned to receive cosmic energy and trained to channel it towards an individual in need.

A session with the healer is typically an hour long and it begins with setting an intent for the reiki to positively influence your problem (eg. knee pain or for a better relationship). This is followed by a Reiki heart attunement that empowers you to do self-Reiki for the next 2 weeks. Following which, you lie down with your eyes close and just relax and enjoy the process.

Closing your eyes minimises distractions and helps you focus on the feelings in your body that the energy generates. People who are energy sensitive may physically feel tension being released or the movement of energy in certain parts of the body. Unprocessed old memories, often unpleasant ones, may also be brought to your awareness to be released.

Most people who come for a therapy session expect immediate and intense sensations because of what they have been reading. Truth is, some people feel nothing but reiki is still doing its work. In a similar vein, having no reaction after ingesting a Vitamin C tablet doesn’t imply it’s useless.

Eugene’s Experience of Reiki Healing in Singapore

Eugene is a left-brained skeptic of woo-woo energy healing therapy but that didn’t stop him from giving reiki therapy a go.

He signed up for the Reiki 1 training programme during which, he was attuned to receive reiki energy. That very day, he developed a mysterious 38℃ fever that receded before he went to bed. The mysterious effects of reiki manifested after the 2-day workshop.

Reiki practitioners are urged to practice self-reiki daily so he did exactly that for an hour daily. By the second day, full-blown reiki healing effects descended on him. His entire body from head to toe ached like an old man’s body. Even the back of his hands ached. The effects lasted for 2 weeks and after which, he felt energised and renewed.

Eugene’s story illustrates that reiki works its magic whether or not you’re a believer. However, it does take quite a few reiki therapy sessions for some people to experience its effects. For a handful like Eugene, a reiki attunement is the game changer.

How to Know if Reiki Healing is Working?

During the session, Reiki healing symptoms can manifest in various ways, depending on the individual and the nature of the issue being addressed. Many people report a deep sense of relaxation, improved sleep, and reduced stress after sessions. Physical sensations such as warmth, tingling, or a gentle pulsation in certain areas of the body are also common signs that energy is shifting. Emotional changes, such as a sudden release of pent-up feelings or an overall sense of peace, can indicate that Reiki is taking effect.

The session can unfold such that you don’t feel any physical sensation. For such individuals, it’s more useful to observe the long-term results of regular Reiki treatments.

Long-term signs of Reiki working include noticeable improvements in physical health, emotional stability, and mental clarity. For example, chronic pain or fatigue may gradually lift with repeated treatment. Similar to a food-based detox, unpleasant symptoms can become more intense before improving, also known as a Herxeimer reaction. It is a sign of an energetic detox, where the body is adjusting to the healing process. Regular sessions help maintain these benefits and speed up your recovery towards better well-being.

Distance Healing with Reiki

Reiki, being a form of energy, can be manipulated at a distance by well-attuned practitioners. More than a few practitioners have revealed that distance healing is just as effective as an in-person session. This is not surprising because the reiki healing distance technique is similarly applied during an in-person session.

Distance Healing Results in Detox Effect

Radiant Flow client Jerome wanted a reiki session but didn’t have the time for an in-person session. He had pain in his right palm that restricted movement so the reiki was directed at his palm. As the session progressed, he experienced itchiness on the arm that never before happened.

Another client Rayne wanted reiki for general wellness. This time, the reiki was targeted at the areas around her chakras with a focus on the bottom 3 chakras. During the session, she sensed peculiar but comfortable sensations moving in the aforementioned areas.

Therefore, a physical session proves inconvenient for you, consider distance healing. In the comforts of your room, you can experience the same energy healing as you would in a physical session. Reiki can even be sent while you sleep but it’s best avoided when you’re operating machinery to avoid an accident.

What Does Reiki Help With?

Reiki may seem extraordinary because many energy healers in Singapore attest to its ability to help with nearly every issue.

At its core, Reiki works because everything is energy, and this practice directly influences the body’s energy field.

Reiki is commonly used to address stress, anxiety, fatigue, pain management, physical recovery, insomnia, and depression. It has also been applied in less conventional ways, such as improving relationships and supporting business success. If your concern can be defined in words, Reiki can be applied to it.

A useful analogy is to think of Reiki as a gentle yet effective cleansing process. With repeated sessions, it clears the negative energy that contributes to the issue, gradually reducing its hold on you.

Reiki Triggers an Emotional Detox

Shiyun wanted to learn what’s the buzz about Reiki so she came for a session. I applied Reiki on the standard 12 body positions while mentally chanting certain Usui Reiki symbols in a meditative state. When my palms were physically touching her shoulders, she broke into a gentle sob. She admitted not knowing where it came from but left the session feeling better than when she started.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

For first-time clients, three hour-long sessions are recommended for optimal results. The initial session should ideally be conducted in person, while follow-ups can be distance healing.

For straightforward concerns like pain relief, improvements are often noticeable quickly. However, deeper healing may take days, weeks, or even months, depending on the complexity of the issue.

If you find Reiki effective, you may wish to learn the practice yourself. Becoming a practitioner allows you to reap its benefits through self-healing.
