Reiki Defined:

The word Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is made of two Japanese words; Rei, which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which means "life force energy" or "Universal life force energy". Reiki is based on the idea that this unseen "Universal life force energy" is found all around us and flows through us. While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. Reiki is Universal.  Regardless of a person's religious beliefs or practices, its use is not dependent on intellect or spiritual development. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Everyone has the ability to heal themselves, so anyone can receive and benefit from a Reiki treatment. As in any healing, the first step towards a healthier life is a desire to be healed.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that treats the whole person (body, mind, spirit) and brings relaxation, feelings of peace, security and wellbeing where there was once 'dis-ease'. Since, a dis-Ease or disorder in one area will inevitably affect or cause blockages in the whole body, the use of Reiki is best applied to the whole-body, to cleanse and revitalize the complete system and restore balaInce. In order to remove the blockages and toxins that can build up over time, the energy channels are opened by Reiki, so to allow the natural healing process of the body, mind, and spirit, so to properly deal with the emotional stress, pain, grief, depression, anxiety, etc, as well as the  build-up of toxins. Reiki naturally can help you achieve complete wellness by addressing the issues that can be holding you back.  If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to feel stress and become sick, and if it is high, we are more capable of feeling and being happy and healthy. Reiki can provide increased energy that is required to recover  and has multiple benefits that can be used to compliment and reinforce other methods of healing. Even Physical Therapists, massage therapists and medical physician's are becoming more aware of Reiki and using it, so to improve the health of their patients.

What to expect in a Reiki session:

During a Reiki session, the client is fully clothed. The client can sit in a chair or lie on a couch or therapist table. Reiki uses the Universal life force energy to heal and balance the subtle energies that flow naturally within our bodies by laying-on of hands or by holding the hands slightly above the body. If a client is uncomfortable with the actual hands-on method, Reiki can still be used. Intuitive and empathic practitioners will freely move their hands in no particular order to the areas where they "feel" Reiki is most needed. Either way, Reiki energy "automatically" flows where the imbalances are regardless of where the practitioner's hands are placed on or above the body. During a Reiki session, existing conflicts within the person such as unprocessed trauma, pain, and illness are broken down through a transfer of energy from the practitioner to the patent. This transfer of energy enhances the body's natural ability to heal itself and leads to relaxation and a stimulation of energy in the body. Importantly to know is that Reiki energy is not the practitioner's energy. You do not absorb the practitioner's energy and vice versa. During a session a person may feel heat, tingling or cooling sensations, and sometimes emotional blockages are removed. As improvements develop, the natural processes of renewal and removal of toxins are enhanced, balanced, and rendered more effectively, ultimately opening up more of the body to the life energy; thus increasing energy, happiness, and joy. Most all clients will feel a deep state of peace and relaxation during a session. Receiving Reiki is a very comforting, relaxing, and soothing experience! A great way to love and take care of your mind, body, and spirit.
