Reiki
How is Reiki helpful?
Reiki is so versatile, gentle, and effective that it’s useful for everyone. Reiki treats all health concerns including chronic illness, pain and stress and helps achieve and maintain wellness and balance. It can help anyone wanting to make things happen in life to release blocks. It can increase calm and inner peace, release anxiety, and help with sleep troubles. It helps heal from grief, heartbreak, and trauma. Effective for those who feel "something isn't right" and have health or emotional issues that haven't resolved. It's very effective for people in transitional stages of life, needing support and help with changes, and those who are passing from this life. Another lesser known impact of Reiki is the assessment of spirit attachments and cords, and their safe removal, allowing an increase of vitality and personal alignment.
What is Reiki?
Mikao Usui originated the Japanese practice of Reiki in the 1920s and although there are many lineages now, my lineage, Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, is considered the foundation. Reiki (ray-key), which means “life force energy,” is a gentle healing technique that helps the body achieve balance, harmony, and increased well-being by working on all levels of the bio-energetic body. By increasing the body's vital chi energy, natural healing is amplified.
Reiki is recognized for its powerful therapeutic benefits. The US Army uses Reiki for health and trauma recovery. Many hospitals and clinics across the country offer Reiki, such as Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, The Mayo Clinic and Genesis Hospital, to treat a variety of conditions including cancer, depression, pain, and chronic illness. Reiki is used for people, animals, environments, and nature.
What does Reiki feel like?
People experience Reiki differently. For some it is profound and immediate. For others, it’s subtle. Many feel not only the energy but the effects of the shifts in their lives for up to several days or weeks past. Some of my clients report complete resolution of an issue, and total relief of physical conditions, pain, and anxiety.
Most Reiki clients report feeling very relaxed and slip into a state of bliss like deep meditation, and some fall asleep. Clients feel heat, tingling, energy gently moving in swirls or moving throughout the body. Some feel the gentle fading away of a headache, body pain, or emotional difficulty during the session. Clients report having creative ideas, visions, spiritual guidance, and heightened awareness. Some come to the session knowing they have spirit attachments or cords, and feel their release and greater flow of energy afterward.
What is a typical appointment?
Reiki sessions for people and pets are typically an hour in length. Sometimes one Reiki session will feel like enough, but typically clients schedule at least 3 sessions for a particular area of focus.
