3 Benefits of Reiki Yoga
Now that you have seen how to practice reiki yoga, here are 3 of the most powerful benefits you can get when you try it out:
1. Brings forth a potent surge of prana:
- During yoga, you have to hold your breath and then breathe out during most of the poses.
- When you combine reiki to this and focus it on specific areas while continuing with the pose, it creates a potent surge of prana that can make you feel more enlightened and elevate your senses.
2. Unblock injured areas:
- This is often a very useful way to deal with any injuries you have had and heal the specified area, reducing pain.
- You can use the energy from reiki to loosen up any blocked energy in the affected area and then use yoga to feel the prana run through the same area and the entire body.
3. Over time, they become the same:
- Once you start practicing reiki yoga, you will realize that soon it becomes very difficult to differentiate between the two.
- You will end up performing reiki in yoga, or yoga in reiki, and feel a higher sense of peace, happiness, confidence, relaxation, and also a new energy and life force flowing through you.
