What is Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese medicine technique for stress reduction and relaxation, that promotes healing in the energetic, mental, emotional, and physical body. It is said that any ailment in the physical body, starts in the energy field. We all have an energy field that extends about two feet outside of the body. As we encounter stressful situations in life and work, major life changes, and relationship troubles, the energy field can become stuck or stagnant from and with these unwanted/negative energies. Having stuck and negative energy in your field, can cause mental, emotional, and even physical problems. Depression, anxiety, not being open to love, feeling “heavy” are all signs that there are blockages in your energy field.
Why Reiki? Reiki is an incredibly useful tool for those dealing with emotional trauma and stress as it clears out energy and blockages that are no longer serving you while bringing your energy centers into balance so that you can heal, make room for the new, and feel better. The results are incredible when you start tuning into this part of your body that you may not have even known existed. Clients that come for regular reiki sessions, start to become much more “aware” of their energy field, as well as when and how it’s being affected. Clients will start to notice specific people and life situations that are no longer bringing positivity into their life. Additionally, clients will gain a more- clear and level head when working through difficult situations and facing the day-to-day of life in general. Allowing clients to not be as reactive to situations, and to come from a peaceful, compassionate, place of understanding.
What to expect?
While receiving Reiki, the client will lie on their back on a massage table while listening to soothing music in soft lighting. The client may feel warmth, cooling sensations, waves of movement, tingling, and even buzzing. Clients may drift into a meditative state, fall asleep, or be completely aware of what is going on inside and around their body. They may start to “work through” things going on in their mind in a comfortable, calm, and relaxed setting. The practitioner’s intention is to create deep relaxation, help speed healing, and reduce energetic as well as physical pain; creating a calm and safe space to promote self-healing in whatever way their body needs.
A Reiki session treats the 7 major chakras as well as the full body energy field. Each individual has over 300 energy centers around their body. The session starts with a chakra review (and brief explanation), identifying any blockages/unhealthy chakras. Focusing on the 7 major chakras because those are the energy centers that are proven to affect us the most energetically, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Then, using a series of hand positions throughout the entire body, the practitioner works with your energy field using the energy centers in the palms as well as the life force energy in and around the client to clear out all blockages. Hands are placed lightly on, or close to their body. At the end of the session their whole energy field is flowing open and working together. Feeling “lighter”, clear headed, and more peaceful are some of the immediate, tangible results the client will have.
Wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing. Do not ingest caffeine prior to the reiki session.
Who can receive Reiki? Anyone! Reiki will do no harm and will compliment any western medicine one may be receiving. Come with an open mind and be ready to receive healing. Reiki has NO religious affiliation, no matter what ones beliefs are, it will only help one feel more open and connected to “source”. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation, feelings of inner peace, mental clarity, security, and overall well-being.
The traditional method for accelerated healing results is to give 10 full treatments on 3 or 4 consecutive days. However, our schedules today don’t allow for that. I have created my preferred protocol for those looking to accelerate and maximize their ability to heal energetic wounds with a 10 week intensive treatment package. See below for details.
