What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient medicinal practice that originated in Japan dating back to the 1920’s. The word “Reiki” is the combination of two words, “Rei” meaning universal “Ki” meaning vital life force energy that flows through all things.
The Chinese call it Chi, the Japanese Ki, Indian yogis call it Kundalini, in India they call it Prana, some call it your life force. Our life force energy comes from the air we breath and the food we eat. This vital life force energy flows through and surrounds the body. Throughout history energy healing modalities have existed for our energy that flows throughout the body’s meridians, chakras and organs that is responsible for maintaining optimal health.
Energy flow can become depleted and disrupted by physical and emotional stress, anxiety, trauma or injury. Disrupted energy flow can result in dis-ease in the physical, emotional and spiritual body. Reiki serves the body holistically by reducing stress, relaxing the body and restoring the life force energy that was previously blocked or restricted. The body uses the Reiki energy to balance and heal itself.
Reiki can be provided in person or remotely
What to Expect
When you arrive for your Reiki healing session we will discuss what you hope to achieve during the session. For Reiki you will lie on a massage table, fully clothed. You may want to wear comfortable, loose clothing. You may remove your shoes and can either keep your eyes open or closed. A session lasts about an hour.
Reiki is provided with the practitioner’s hands through light touch on the body or hovering just above the body. Reiki energy flows from the practitioner into the body, moving to where your body needs it most. Reiki is relaxing, peaceful and calming, and while you are awake you may feel like you are in a meditative state. Clients sometimes feel energetic, temperature and pressure changes in the body during a session. Each person’s experience during a Reiki session is unique.
In addition to receiving Reiki energy during your session your chakras will be balanced. Additionally, we may use crystals, color or sound during your session. Sessions are adjusted to accommodate your needs. We can talk about what will occur during your session prior to beginning. You are encouraged to ask questions you may have about the process and to communicate if at any time you are uncomfortable.
Remote sessions can be done via zoom and include all of the benefits of a session in person.
If you have an acute condition you should seek out a licensed medical professional immediately. If you have a chronic or current issue, Reiki can be an excellent compliment to your health or wellness plan.
