Reiki – Whats it all about?

 Reiki is often referred to as “Divine Universal Life Force Energy”, that energy that makes us and keeps us alive. 

Reiki Is described as a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki.org

The word its-self sums it up. Rei means “Gods Wisdom or Higher Power” and Ki is “Life Force Energy”.

We are energetic and vibrational beings.  In Western Medicine, the focus has always been on the physical body and healing it once it becomes diseased.  But what if we took it a different way and looked at our health as something to maintain and not fix it once it breaks.

It is starting to become more known that many diseases actually start well before they manifest physically.

In fact, it is becoming accepted that most diseases start out due to an emotional trauma, stress or previous illness. This happens because Traumas, Stress, Illness and day to day high energy living causes our energy to become stuck or blocked.  Releasing these emotions and stressors can help keep the energy flowing and raise the vibration in our bodies back to a healthy level that reminds our body how to heal.

Hospitals, Cancer Centers, and Hospices all across the US are offering Reiki to their patients to help in the healing.  Some of these hospitals are Cancer Center of America Phoenix AZ, Banner Health System Hospitals Phoenix AZ,  MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston TX

Reiki, for me, has been a life changer and has given me more compassion, more love and the ability to not only heal myself but to help others in their path of healing.

Reiki is performed by Laying on of the Hands, the Energy is channeled from the Divine thru the practitioner and out through the Palm Chakras.

I am not doing the Healing, but stepping away and allowing Reiki to heal.  Reiki will heal what it knows needs healing. If a client comes in for a specific ailment they want healed, Reiki will decide to if it’s the Ailment that needs healing or some emotion that needs healing before physical healing can happen.

What is a Reiki Session Like
Reiki is a gently, non abtrusive, practice where the client lays fully clothed on the massage table or comfortably seated.  The practitioner places their hands on or slightly above the client and will channel energy in that area for as long as they deem necessary.  Often times the Practitioner will intuitively change their hand position to follow the guidance of the Reiki Energy. The Reiki Practitioner holds no opinion, expectation or thought on the outcome and will set their ego aside and just allow Reiki to do its job. You, as the Client, should also do the same.

Some people may experience the movement of energy, heat from the practitioner’s hands, tingling in places within the body, an extra hand on them or nothing at all.  Some clients even fall asleep as they go into a deep state of relaxation. Remember to have no expectations and the energy will flow strongly.

Healing Crisis after a Session – Often times after a Reiki Session there is manifestations of not feeling well, flu-like symptoms. These are very common and a sure sign that healing has and is taking place.  This may not show up right away and may occur a week later. Remember, we are moving and unblocking energy throughout your organs and body. This can sometimes feel like you are not doing well but I assure you, you are doing very well.

Another thing that may occur after a session is remembering something from your past, or thinking about someone you have not thought about for a while.  Pay attention to these thoughts because they are directly related to something that needed healing.

You can receive Reiki in a private session with a Reiki Practitioner of any level or you can learn and be attuned to Reiki from a Reiki Master.

I am no longer offering Private Reiki Healing sessions. Some of my students have gone on to establish themselves and offers Reiki. Since I am in my retirement years i feel that its time to turn over the reins. I still offer monthly   Healing Nights.  I will also continue to teach Reiki.

Reiki Respects free will and will never do harm
