Reiki Questions… What is Reiki? The Japanese word "Reiki" is broken down into two components - REI is the universal life energy, while KI is the vital energy life force. Originating in ancient Tibet thousands of years ago, Reiki was rediscovered in the mid-1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui of Japan. Gentle "hands on" healing energy, it is as I tell my clients, "a huge dose of divine love!" How does it work? The true essence of Reiki is a pure heart filled with light and a desire to give and receive healing. Originating from a "divine" source, Reiki will flow only if intentions are pure and positive thoughts prevail. It never causes harm. There is no wrong way to administer Reiki because it is an energy in and of itself. It will flow exactly where it needs to for the benefit of each individual person. How will Reiki benefit me? Reiki will assist in all areas of your healing - Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. Physical Accelerates healing - supports the body's natural ability to heal itself Cleanses the body of toxins Balances the flow of blocked/imbalanced energy, i.e., chakras (see definition) Relieves muscular tension and relaxes the body Aids in peaceful rest and sleep Increases energy and vitality Diminishes pain and discomfort Mental Relieves stress Offers better clarity, focus, and understanding Enhances ability to concentrate Improves mental well-being Emotional Offers emotional balance Sense of safety, security and release Overall feeling of emotional well-being Feelings of contentment, peace, and love Releases fears and insecurities Healing of past hurts, i.e., closure, trauma Spiritual Increases intuition Revitalizes both body and soul by establishing spiritual equilibrium Offers connection with Universal/Spiritual Guides and/or Angels Aids in channeling of crossed-over loved ones Past-life regressions Who can benefit from it? Reiki does not discriminate. It is safe for everyone including all ethnic groups, religions, elderly persons, children, and pregnant women. Because it works with energy, all things living, including plants and animals, can benefit from Reiki. Reiki is not a substitute for medication and/or treatment; however, it does complement and support the healing process. It is recognized and practiced by many doctors, hospitals, psychologists, massage therapists, and other natural health practitioners as an alternative method of healing. What are Chakras? Chakras are the energy centers in the body that serve as the gateways for the flow of essential energy and life into the physical body. Although there are over 108 different chakras within the human body, only the seven key chakras are most commonly focused on during the Reiki session - Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root. Each chakra reacts and responds to energy and vibration. The energy flow of the chakra can be out of balance as a result of physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual stress. If left untreated, this imbalance may cause physical illness. What takes place during a session? Surrounded by soothing music in a peaceful setting, the client relaxes comfortably on a massage table while Reiki is administered through the seven key chakras. These chakras are individually balanced by the Master's healing hands placed on or over the energy centers, allowing for the release of blocked energies thereby restoring regular balance. At no time during the session is there any physical manipulation of the body. The client remains fully clothed at all times. How often do I need a session? Reiki can be received daily with no harmful affects. The frequency of treatments is left to the discretion of the individual. If a client is experiencing an overall sense of wellness, he or she may be satisfied with fewer sessions. However, if a client is suffering from chronic illness or discomfort, it is recommended that the client consider more frequent Reiki sessions to assist in controlling the pain and/or relieving stress levels. What can I expect to feel? Because each client's needs are very unique, the benefits received from a Reiki session will differ between individuals. Even returning clients can expect each session to feel differently based on the type of healing required at any given time. Generally, the feeling most commonly experienced is that of complete surrender and an overwhelming sense of peace and love. It is not uncommon for a client to feel so relaxed as to fall asleep during the session. Because each client's experience is so very unique, it is almost impossible to predict what type of experience one would encounter. Having said that, I invite you to visit the "Client Experiences" page to read but only a few of my client's personal testimonials. |
