Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word Rei which means “Universal Life” or “Spirit” and Ki which means “Energy”. Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy!
Reiki has its roots in ancient Buddhism and Shintoism and is part of the Chinese Qigong family. It was discovered in 1922 by Mikao Usui and is administered by a practitioner who places their hands on or near the client's body in a series of hand positions. Reiki is a powerful adjunct to many conventional therapeutic modalities, and helps to restore balance on emotional, mental, and physical levels by enhancing and accelerating the normal healing processes of the mind and body.
Potential Benefits of Reiki:
Stress is attributed to 85% of all health challenges! Many clients find Reiki effective for reducing stress surrounding a range of issues, including job stress, relationship or family matters, suffering from a loss or letting go of the past, among many other stressors.
The many benefits of reiki include:
• Calms the nervous system
• Balances the body, mind, spirit
• Eases depression, anxiety, and stress
• Enhances the body’s ability to heal itself
• Pain relief
• Heightens self awareness and intuition
• Improves sleep
• Removes overwhelm
• Provides a sense of centering, often compared to the experience of meditation
• Easy way to get in your daily dose of “self-care time”
Ways to Book
In-Person Reiki Session
(at your home or in my home office)
- 60 minutes -
In an in-person Reiki session the recipient lays in a quiet, comfortable position while the Reiki practitioner channels healing energy through specific hand positions and sacred symbols. Oftentimes there is no need to physically lay the hands on the client, as the energy does the work. The experience is very nurturing and relaxing and many times the recipient drifts into a dream sleep. Though everyone’s experience is different, you may feel a very slight tingling, heat, or energy pulsing, or nothing at all. You may feel a peace and calm in your mind or physically in general. It is different for all clients but deep relaxation is almost always felt. It is important to remember that while Reiki is safe to use in any situation, under no circumstances is it a substitute for professional medical care.
Remote Reiki Session
(via Zoom)
- 60 minutes + 30 minute recap sent via email with all the intuitive hits and insights -
Distant Reiki works the same as an in-person Reiki session except that the person receiving Reiki is not in the same room. The effects of distant Reiki are just as profound (and sometimes more so!) as those experienced in an in-person session. Think of it an energetic “plug” created between myself (the practitioner) and the client. Just like a light switch initiates an electrical current to flow, so is the Reiki by calling in the sacred distant Reiki symbol, and asking it to flow to the recipient. We know that we are not bound by physical space or time, and so Reiki energy goes to where it’s needed when we are open to sending and receiving.
In a long distance Reiki session, we will start with a Zoom session to talk through your goals for the session and set our intention for the healing to happen for your highest good. I will draw an oracle card as well and also use whatever crystals I may be called to use.
