Reiki

---

Reiki is a Japanese technique that emphasizes the holistic well-being of an individual—addressing the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. It offers a variety of benefits and can enhance your overall wellness. Reiki promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and can alleviate pain by restoring balance and aligning the energies within the meridians, chakras, and auric fields. This approach is simple, natural, and safe, making it accessible for everyone to experience and benefit from.

Reiki is a Japanese term that combines two words: "rei," which means universal or spiritual wisdom, and "ki," which refers to life force energy. Together, these words signify "spiritually guided life force energy." 

The practice is based on the belief that a Reiki practitioner channels universal energy through their body and hands, allowing the client to receive and absorb this energy to facilitate balance and healing.

Reiki can complement traditional medical treatments and is used in hospitals worldwide. While it doesn’t diagnose or cure disease, numerous studies and personal testimonials indicate it can offer significant benefits without adverse side effects.

The potential health benefits of Reiki include:  

• Alleviating pain and fatigue  
• Reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress  
• Enhancing sleep quality  
• Easing anxiety, fear, and pain before and after surgery  
• Supporting emotional healing  
• Aiding in blood pressure management  
• Facilitation faster healing

Reiki can be done in person or at a distance. Distant Reiki is based on the principle that energy can be “tuned” to the individual receiving it. Once this tuning takes place, distance does not affect its effectiveness, similar to how internet and phone communications work without geographic limitations. The energy surrounding us facilitates the transfer of these energies to the intended recipient, with the practitioner serving as a conduit for this energy.

What is a Distance Reiki session like? 

Both of us will be present online or by phone during your distant Reiki session. To begin, you will find a quiet space where you can relax. I will start the session by summarizing the hand positions I will use to help you better focus on the area where energy is directed. Our combined focus on a specific location will create a flow of energy in that region. I will gently guide you through the process and explain each step as I go along. You're welcome to describe what you are feeling, or you can remain quiet, encouraging greater relaxation and enhancing your body's healing ability. Once the session concludes, I will disconnect, allowing you to relax and continue fully integrating the energy for your healing.

Everyone's experience is different during a reiki session. But common reactions include:

• Feeling temperature changes – a sensation of heat or cold where the energy is being directed 
• Seeing colors in your mind's eye
• Involuntary body movements
• Becoming so relaxed you fall asleep
• Emotional responses as energy rebalancing occurs
• Rumbling stomach - this is normal when the body begins to relax
• Memory flashes
• Tingling where the energy is being directed

These experiences are typical during a session, but Reiki works subtly, so you shouldn’t worry about sensations being absent if you do not experience any of the above. 

You will feel safe and supported during the session, and once it is over, you will feel relaxed, refreshed, and renewed.
