What is Reiki?

Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy

Energy exists in everything!  Rei means “universal” and Ki refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.

Reiki assists in healing your body, mind, emotions and spirit.  It releases stored trauma in the body whether it was physical, mental or emotional.

What Happens During A Reiki Treatment?

 

Preparation: The practitioner and recipient may begin with a brief discussion about the recipient’s physical or emotional concerns. The recipient is usually fully clothed and may either sit or lie down, depending on their comfort.

Hand Placement: The Reiki practitioner uses a series of hand positions, either lightly placing their hands on or slightly above the recipient’s body. These positions correspond to energy centers, often called chakras, as well as other areas of the body that may need attention.

Energy Flow: Reiki is universal life force energy that is channeled through my hands to the recipient. The energy works on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels, promoting a sense of balance and harmony.

Relaxation: Recipients often report feeling deep relaxation, a sense of warmth, or a tingling sensation during a Reiki session. Many experience a deep meditative state.  I also incorporate soothing music, sound healing & aromatherapy to enhance your healing experience.

What does Reiki feel like?​

Reiki, often described as a gentle and soothing energy healing technique, can elicit various sensations and experiences during a session. Here's what you might feel:​

  • Heat, Tingling, or Pulsing: Many recipients report feeling warmth, tingling, or pulsing sensations where the Reiki practitioner's hands are placed on or near the body. This warmth can be comforting and may vary in intensity.

  • Movement of Sensations: Some individuals experience sensations that seem to move throughout their body during a Reiki session. This could manifest as waves of energy or a gentle flow spreading from one area to another.

  • Altered States of Consciousness: Studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that recipients may enter a unique state of consciousness during a Reiki session. Some describe feeling deeply relaxed yet simultaneously aware of their surroundings, akin to a meditative state. Others may experience a sensation of floating or hovering between wakefulness and sleep.

  • Immediate Stress Release: One of the most common experiences reported after a Reiki session is a profound release of stress and tension. Recipients often describe feeling deeply relaxed, as if a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. This sense of relaxation can extend beyond the session, promoting a lasting feeling of calmness and well-being.

 

Overall, the experience of Reiki is highly individualized, and sensations can vary from person to person and from session to session. Regardless of the specific sensations felt, many people find Reiki to be a deeply soothing and transformative practice that promotes holistic healing and well-being.
