What is Reiki?

 

Reiki (universal life force in Japanese) is a an ancient Japanese system of energy healing that is used to facilitate the flow of energy to address physical, spiritual and mental challenges. It is a spiritual, vibrational healing practice that promotes balance throughout the whole human system. Reiki's roots lay in Japan and Tibet through the work of Usui Miako and his students. 

​

Energy is our life force.  When that life force if high, we feel confident and strong, ready to enjoy life.  When our life force energy is low, we feel sick, lethargic, weak and imbalanced.  Reiki Energy Balancing helps to release congested and blocked energy throughout the body so that it can flow freely and harmoniously. When our energy is balanced, it can have positive effects on every area of our lives, reducing stress and anxiety, and helping you on your path of healing.  

​

Scientists at the University of Minnesota theorize that the healing effects of Reiki are triggered on a sub physical level called the "biofield" of energy. Biofield is a term medical science has adopted for the intricately layered vibrational energy field that is said to surround and penetrate the physical body. Qigong, shiatsu, acupuncture, yoga and Healing Touch are some of the other practices that work with this subtle vibrational biofield energy.

​

As reiki is becoming more mainstream, we are seeing it offered as part of a complimentary healing program by doctors, in hospitals and in palliative care units for the terminally ill.

What happens during a reiki session?

​

During a hands-on healing session, the client lays down in a relaxed state, concentrating on breathing exercises. I'm intuitively guided through several hand positions, using light touch, to where the body is open to absorbing Reiki energy. I often incorporate crystal healing to balance the chakras as well as cleanse and heal the client's energy fields. While doing all of this, I intuitively gain information to share with my client once the session is over. 

Reiki sessions are done in-person and through distance healing sessions.  This allows you to receive Reiki healing from all over the world, even from your own home.
