What is Reiki?
Reiki is an invitation to wellness. Reiki, a combination of two Japanese words, Rei and Ki, meaning “divine wisdom” and “life force energy” represent the energy-based healing modality that can help return us to balanced functioning on every level-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Reiki is a support mechanism for the pure loving energy that flows within and around all living things. Disease in our life is the result of unhealthy thoughts, emotions or experiences that we have held onto in a negative way and can create a disruption of the healthy flow of life energy. This diminished flow can impact the function of the body’s organs and tissues and may result in illness. Reiki provides the opportunity to release the trapped and stagnant energy.
Reiki is a complementary modality that safely combines with and supports traditional medical interventions including surgery, medication, radiation or chemotherapy or physical therapy. It is also widely accepted as an effective technique for stress, back pain, migraine headaches, infertility, abuse and trauma.
Reiki is typically a hands-on technique however it is effective when performed as distant healing as well. Reiki energy transcends time and space and therefore is a great way to send healing to someone who is not present or for those who do not feel comfortable with physical touch.
During a Reiki session, a client remains fully clothed and may lie on a massage table or be seated if preferred. The practitioner’s hands are placed lightly on the body using specific hand positions on certain areas of the body where stagnant or blocked energy has been observed. The channeled Reiki energy is drawn through the practitioner's hands and into the affected areas to release the trapped energy. This stagnant energy is replaced with positive and healthy energy thus creating balance for the client’s greatest and highest good.
Each Reiki experience is very individual and may center on physical, mental and emotional changes such as a sense of relaxation, relief from pain, greater clarity, a gradual lessening of anxiety or stress. Many people experience a deep sense of calmness, a feeling of being nurtured, acceptance and unconditional love. Depending on the openness of the client to receive Reiki energy, it may take a few or several sessions to balance the energy imbalances to restore emotional, physical, mental and spiritual harmony and energy wellness.
