What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique of channeling energy through the palms of the hands. The name is a combination of two Japanese words: “Rei,” which means “universal” or “higher power” and '“Ki,” which means “life force energy”. Together, “Reiki” loosely translates as “spiritually guided life force energy”. Ki is the life force energy that animates all living things. This vital spiritual energy activates the natural healing processes, detoxifying the body of both physical and emotional blockages while bringing about deep relaxation and calmness.
How does Reiki work?
Reiki works by increasing the “life force energy” that flows through us and around us and causes us to be alive. The life force is responsive to our thoughts or feelings and can become disrupted and diminished by negative thoughts or feelings, especially about ourselves. If this energy is low, we are at higher risk of becoming sick or stressed. When our life force energy is high, we are more likely to be happy and healthy.
Reiki provides a positive boost of “ki,” which raises the energy field’s vibratory level in and around the negatively affected areas of the body, causing negative energy to dissipate and fall away. Reiki restores the healthy, natural flow of the life force.
What happens during a Reiki Session?
Reiki is performed by a series of gentle, non-invasive hand movements on or near the body. There is little to no talking during a session. It is ideal to wear loose, comfortable clothing and to be well hydrated. Every body is unique and experiences Reiki energy differently. Reiki energy flows to wherever the body needs it.
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Two main benefits of Reiki are stress reduction and deep relaxation, which both lead to a number of other benefits that improve well-being. Our bodies can’t heal when constantly in a stressed state. When we experience deep relaxation during Reiki, the body’s natural healing process enhances and accelerates. In addition to stress reduction and deep relaxation, Reiki has been known to aid with anxiety, depression, insomnia, lowering blood pressure, pain management, and tinnitus.
Why we recommend 4 sessions to get started?
For those completely new to Reiki, we request the opportunity to provide four sessions in a short time, such as a week to ten days, depending on our mutual availability. This will jump start your healing process.
Our problems, both physical and emotional, develop and worsen over time, and there is no magic wand to remove them. We must work together over several sessions until the body and mind start responding positively to the application of Reiki. In the first session the body does not know what to expect, and often remains closed to the flow of energy. During the second treatment the body relaxes more deeply and begins to receive the flow of Reiki more freely. The third and fourth treatments are usually very strong and begin to provoke the healing reaction we want for each client.
After the first four sessions are completed, we ask clients to come once a week (if necessary) until they have achieved good results with which they are satisfied, or whenever needed.
