Healing the mind and body often requires more than one approach. Many people seek natural, gentle therapies that support overall wellness without harsh side effects. Reiki and hypnotherapy are two such methods that have gained popularity for their calming, restorative effects. When combined, they offer a powerful way to address both physical and emotional challenges. This post explains how Reiki works, its benefits, and how it pairs effectively with hypnotherapy. It also highlights the expertise of Em, a practitioner at Arty Bohemian Healing, who is trained in level 2 Reiki and is a master-level hypnotherapist.
How Reiki Works
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and balance. The word "Reiki" means "universal life energy." Practitioners believe this energy flows through all living things and can be channelled to support healing. During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client’s body in a series of positions. This process helps clear energy blockages and encourages the body’s natural healing abilities.
The key to Reiki is its focus on energy flow. When energy is blocked or stagnant, it can lead to physical or emotional discomfort. Reiki aims to restore smooth energy flow, which may reduce stress, ease pain, and improve overall well-being. Many people describe feeling warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during sessions.
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki offers a range of benefits that support mind and body wellness:
Stress reduction and relaxation: Reiki calms the nervous system, helping to lower anxiety and promote restful sleep.
Pain relief: Some clients report less chronic pain, headaches, or muscle tension after Reiki treatments.
Emotional balance: Reiki can help release emotional blockages, leading to improved mood and mental clarity.
Support for healing: Reiki complements medical treatments by boosting the body’s natural recovery processes.
Improved energy levels: Many people feel more energized and refreshed after sessions.
Reiki is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for people of all ages and health conditions. It can be used alongside other therapies or on its own as a wellness practice.
How Hypnotherapy Supports Healing
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind. This state allows clients to explore thoughts, feelings, and memories that influence behavior and wellbeing. A skilled hypnotherapist helps clients develop new perspectives, reduce negative patterns, and build positive habits.
Hypnotherapy is effective for a variety of issues, including:
Managing stress and anxiety
Overcoming fears and phobias
Improving sleep quality
Supporting behaviour change, such as quitting smoking or weight management
Enhancing self-confidence and motivation
By working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can create lasting change that feels natural and empowering.
Why Combining Reiki and Hypnotherapy Works Well
Reiki and hypnotherapy complement each other by addressing healing on different but connected levels. Reiki works primarily with the body’s energy system, promoting physical and emotional balance. Hypnotherapy works with the mind, helping to shift subconscious beliefs and behaviours.
When combined, these therapies can:
Enhance relaxation and deepen the healing experience
Address both physical symptoms and underlying emotional causes
Support faster recovery by aligning mind and body
Provide a holistic approach to wellness that feels integrated and natural
For example, a client dealing with chronic pain might receive Reiki to ease physical discomfort while hypnotherapy helps uncover and release emotional stress contributing to the pain. This dual approach can lead to more profound and lasting relief.
Em at Arty Bohemian Healing offers sessions that blend Reiki and hypnotherapy, tailored to each client’s needs. With training in level 2 Reiki and mastery in hypnotherapy, Em guides clients through a seamless process that supports healing on all levels.
What to Expect in a Combined Session
A typical combined session with Em begins with a brief consultation to understand your goals and concerns. Then, you will be guided into a relaxed state through hypnotherapy techniques. While in this calm, focused state, Reiki energy is gently channelled to your body.
This approach allows you to experience deep relaxation and healing simultaneously. Many clients report feeling peaceful, grounded, and refreshed afterwards. The session usually lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, giving ample time for both therapies to work together.

Those experiencing chronic stress or anxiety
