What is Reiki?
The word "Reiki" means spiritually guided life-force energy which has intelligence. It's term come from two Japanese words - Rei, which means God's wisdom or the higher power and Ki which is life-force energy.
Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes healing and stress reduction. By channeling energy in a particular pattern the Reiki Practioner through the "laying on hands" restores energy to the body that has become unbalanced.
What are the affects of Reiki?
Reiki is based on the idea that flowing through all of us is an unseen life-force energy which keeps us alive. If we are feeling stressed or ill our life-force energy is low. When our life-force energy is high we are more likely to feel healthy, happy and well balanced.
What should I expect when I arrive for a session?
When you arrive you will fill in a client in-take form and the practitioner will discuss with you any questions you may have or any areas that you would like him to work on. You remain fully clothed and will lie down on the reiki table, relax and just enjoy the session.
Will the practioner be touching me?
Most Reiki treatments do involve a certain amount of touching. As an example, the practitioner may touch the client as in the cradling of the head. The practioner will always use respect as to not violate the male or female bodies privacy. The practioner will place his hands slightly above the recipient and the recipient will draw what energy they need from the practitioner. This technique allows the recipient to take an active part in their own healing.
What does a Reiki treatment feel like?
Reiki treats the whole person, body, mind, emotion & spirit creating a balanced feeling of well-being.
Many clients feel a warm and pleasant glowing radiance that flows through and around them. Most clients feel relaxed, content and an over-all feeling of wellness. Clients may feel a warmth from the practioners hands. Clients may also feel a slight vibration around the area being treated. Clients are encouraged to release any emotion like sudden laughter or crying as this is a natural occurrance when negative energy blockages are removed and energy is allowed to flow normally.
How many Reiki sessions will I need?
Many clients feel well immediately after a session or even a day or two later. Some clients depending on the condition (especially if it is a serious or long-term condition) may require regular sessions.
