About Reiki

Reiki is an energy technique that was founded in Eastern traditions by Master Mikao Usui, in the 1900's and brought to the West by Hawayo Hiromi Takata.  It is not based on any particular religion.  Instead, it draws from the Universal Life Force Spiritual Energy that is available to everyone, all the time, everywhere. 

During a Reiki session, a practitioner who has been trained, and attuned, acts as a channel to bring the Universal Life Force Energy to you.  This energy connects to your Highest Soul Self and begins to activate your healing centres exactly as you need it for your Highest good.  The goal of Reiki is to bring you into WHOLENESS: body, mind, spirit.  

Before the session, I will set an intention, and prepare the space so that it is clear of any negative energy.  I will invite your Spirit Guides, and draw upon all positive forces to act in your Highest Good.  Sacred Reiki symbols & mantras are said and the you will enter into a sacred space.  

Reiki is gentle, and non-invasive.  You are fully clothed during a session. Usually you will lay down on a Reiki table, but you may be seated. Once you are comfortable, with a blanket and pillow I will check your chakras to determine if they are open or blocked.  I will follow specific, hand patterns, to clear and open your chakras, and then to channel the Reiki energy for power, harmony and healing to your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual auras.  

Reiki will go where it is intended to go.  

You may feel heat, cold, tingling, numbness, you may laugh, or cry as you release.  Or you may not feel much of anything except extremely relaxed.  Many people fall asleep on the Reiki table.  However you feel is perfectly normal and perfect for you. 

After the session, we will talk a bit to ground you again and share any impressions, insights or feelings you wish to.  If it seems appropriate I will share any intuitive messages received during the session. 

Reiki is not a medical treatment.  No diagnosis will be made during a Reiki session.  It is often an excellent accompaniment to traditional treatments, however. 

One of the reasons people choose to see a Reiki practioner is because it promotes a deep sense of relaxation. Whether you are looking for relief from stress, anxiety, physical, or emotional pain, difficulty sleeping or frequent bouts of illness or you are struggling to find your purpose Reiki works to bring you back into alignment and harmony.  It re-balances your chakras, and removes energetic blocks so that you can return to who you were meant to be. 

Reiki is not a religious practice, but it is a spiritual one.
