Our bodies are all energy and during stressful times or challenges our vibration can be lowered and energy blocks can happen. During a reiki session we work with energy to remove the blocks.

 

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a form of energy medicine or biofield therapy that reduces stress and promotes healing. It originated in Japan and was created by Mikao Usui over a 100 years ago. Its popularity and benefits are growing globally. Reiki can be defined as "universally guided life-force energy".  It’s based on the idea of channeling universal life force energy through the body to bring about emotional and physical well-being. This energy helps support the body’s health and healing by raising the vibration of the recipient in a gentle, non-invasive, but powerful way.

 

It is a simple yet powerful practice that reduces stress, induces deep relaxation and promotes healing of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. As well as helping with stress, it can relieve aches, pain and discomfort. It can speed up healing and create clarity and peace of mind, leaving us feeling relaxed, refreshed, re-energized and more comfortable and comforted.

 

Reiki can be given to pets and can be used to clear spaces. It is widely used these days in hospitals, cancer treatment centers and other health-care settings to support patients and their care givers.

 

During a  reiki session the client stays fully clothed on the treatment table, or seated in a chair. Reiki can also be given remotely.

What happens in a reiki session and what does reiki feel like?  

​

Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between the client and the source of universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to the person receiving the session. 

​

The energy flow is always gentle and is always what is for the best and highest good of person receiving the session. The energy goes where it is needed.

​

During a session, the client lies on a massage table fully clothed, as the reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above the body in specific energy locations. 

​

Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during a reiki session, and some people even fall asleep during the session. Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people feel nothing at all. Some people may see colors some people do not. Every session is different.
