Reiki is a Japanese healing art that restores and balances the natural life force energy within the body. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning:
Rei.. Universal Spirit of energy that surrounds everything.
Ki.. Vital Life Energy
This healing art requires no belief, simply the willingness to experience and receive. Reiki is set apart from other modalities as it is the only healing art that requires the practitioner to be “a-tuned” to the energy. An attunement is not a healing session it is what makes the healer.
During a session, the Reiki practitioner gently places her hands on or slightly above the client’s body. The energy is drawn from the practitioner’s hands by the client receiving it. The life force energy enters the body through the Chakra system and stimulates the endocrine system. We have seven charkas running mid-line up the body. A charka is an ancient Sanskrit word, meaning wheel and is thought to stimulate and nourish different areas of the body. The charka system is also the portholes to the energy fields that surround and flows outside the body. Reiki helps to prevent physical illness by restoring balance to these more subtle fields before illness manifests in the physical body.
In a Reiki session one notices a gentle shift toward relaxation where breathing becomes slower and deep relaxation can be achieved. Everyone experiences Reiki differently. Some people feel warm tingling where Reiki hands are placed. Others feel soft wave like pulsations. Some people feel nothing in particular, nothing except they are very relaxed afterward, with an enhanced sense of well-being.
Benefits of Reiki are:
· Improved sleep
· Improve digestion
· Stress reduction
· Relief from pain & anxiety
· Increased energy
· Less depressed
· Experience relief from side effects of medication, radiation or chemotherapy
· Accelerates recovery time
Reiki does not attack disease but supports well-being and strengthens our natural ability to heal ability to heal by encouraging balance. Reiki can guide ones consciousness by redirecting our attention toward wellness. Reiki reconnects us with our sense of wholeness.
Sessions usually last an hour and clients remain fully clothed on a massage table while Reiki is being given.
