Difference Between Kinesiology and Reiki
If you’re exploring natural and holistic ways to boost your wellbeing, you might have come across Reiki and kinesiology. Both are fantastic alternative therapies that can help you achieve balance and maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, it can be a bit confusing to differentiate between them, as they’re sometimes used interchangeably. Let’s clear things up and dive into how kinesiology, in particular, can be a wonderful addition to your self-care routine.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that focuses on restoring balance and promoting overall wellness. It works on the principle of a universal life force energy flowing through all living things. During a Reiki session, you’ll typically lie down fully clothed while the practitioner gently places their hands on or above your body. The goal is to channel energy to clear blockages and promote deep relaxation and healing.
What is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology is a holistic approach that combines muscle testing, bodywork, and energy healing to find and address imbalances in your body’s energy system. It’s based on the idea that muscles and emotions are interconnected with various organs and systems. By assessing muscle responses, we can gain valuable insights into your overall health.
In a kinesiology session, we use muscle testing (either on you if we're meeting in person or on myself if we’re connecting online) to pinpoint any imbalances. I then employ techniques like essential oils, crystals, acupressure, visualization, or energy healing to help restore balance. Kinesiology is incredibly versatile and can support you with everything from anxiety and stress management to emotional imbalances, mindset blockages, physical issues, and overall wellbeing.
Key Differences Between Reiki and Kinesiology
While both Reiki and kinesiology focus on energy, they do have some key differences:
- Technique: Reiki uses specific hand positions to channel energy, while kinesiology relies on muscle testing to assess and correct imbalances.
- Focus: Reiki aims to balance energy, whereas kinesiology identifies and resolves disruptions across physical, chemical, emotional, and energetic levels.
- Approach: Reiki involves hands-on or hands-off energy transfer, while kinesiology integrates muscle testing and various bodywork techniques.
- Scope: Reiki focuses primarily on energy healing, while kinesiology offers a broader range of techniques to address multiple aspects of mental,emotional and physical health.
