Choosing A Reiki Massage Table

Reiki is a spiritual healing technique developed and practiced by Japanese Buddist since 1922. It was often referred to as "palm healing" and combined with massage it can be a very powerful form of relaxation and healing. Reiki practitioners act as a spiritual channel helping to heal a person's spirit or aura. Reiki can actually be performed without ever touching the body, as the main focus is to treat four areas of the body called chakra: the head, body, legs/feet and back.

The practice of Reiki spiritual healing has been referred to as seeking balance or “life force energy” within the body. Some true practitioners of Reiki do not believe they should be required to become licensed massage therapists while there are still others who believe Reiki may not be a truly effective form of healing. But somewhere they melded together creating a whole new market.

It has become very popular to combine a massage with the practice of Reiki for a truly relaxing spiritual healing therapy.With the combination of these two very powerful yet unique styles there was a market created for a Reiki Massage Table.

Unlike traditional massage tables, a Reiki massage table has an open end, so that your knees can fit under the table at both ends.

Another important feature to a Reiki massage table is an open face cradle for ultimate comfort and unrestricted breathing.It is very important to be comfortable when receiving Reiki massage therapy.

Massage Tables are made of either metal or wood which you should consider before buying a Reiki Massage Table. The metal is considered to create a circuit and charges Reiki around the table while the wood is said to absorb energy with a more gentle vibration.

Choosing the right Reiki massage table can depend on a couple of factors, whether you are a professional massage therapist or if it is for you own personal use. Portability is usually a good feature to consider as well as the width of the table if you will be using crystals with the Reiki massage therapy. Although the crystals are not an absolute must, they do add another level to the Reiki experience. There are Reiki crystals that match the changes in energy fields of the body, thus enhancing the treatment. The main purpose of the crystals is to amplify the Reiki healing, although they are visually pleasing as well. As with any portable massage table, price can be a factor but there are a variety of quality tables available to fit any budget.

Buying a good quality table from the start will benefit you and your client, providing a comfortable, relaxing experience, enhancing the Reiki massage experience. I hope this information helps when choosing your Reiki massage table.
