What is Reiki?

 Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It’s 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.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
Reiki is a very specific form of energy healing, in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, as in “laying on of hands.” According to many versions of its origin, Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese seeker of spiritual truths, brought the Reiki method of healing into human awareness in 1922 after a deep spiritual experience. He’s said to have begun teaching others after a serious earthquake hit Japan and he felt urged to spread his knowledge.
In a Reiki session, the practitioner is seeking to transmit Universal Life Energy to the client. The intention is to create deep relaxation, balance the chakras, to help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing.

what to

expect

in a reiki

session?

Sessions will take place in the comfort of your home or your desired space. I’m currently a mobile service. I will arrive at your door and prepare to set up once welcomed inside. While preparing, you’ll be guided to fill out some paperwork. You’ll then be asked a few questions related to your intention for the session and given a rundown of what to expect during it. A Reiki bed with freshly washed sheets, a blanket, an eye mask, some crystals and music playing from a speaker is what will be prepared.

You’ll be expected to be on the Reiki bed for an hour so please wear something comfortable. Everything including the treatment bed, a pillow and a bolster is adjustable so just get comfortable, relax and breathe.
Most of the time, an energy session is described as a sensory experience. You might start seeing colors, experience twitching, tingling sensations, sensation of floating, find your body warming or cooling or feel waves of energy/electricity running through the body. You might find yourself in a deep meditative state, fall asleep or process emotions during the session. Please know, that all of the above is normal and generally, Reiki treatment is a very relaxing, peaceful, restorative experience.
I use hands-off and hands-on Reiki hand positions during the treatments so If you prefer not to be touched, please let me know.

If you have allergies or you are sensitive to essential oils or smells like sage, palo santo, lavender, eucalyptus etc, please let me know at the beginning of the session.
Sound-healing and vibrational therapy tools like tuning forks, singing bowls, chimes, music instruments as well as breath-work techniques will be used as a part of the treatment.
If at any time during your treatment, you feel uncomfortable, please let me know and we’ll take a break or stop the session.
If you need to use a bathroom before or during the session, you are welcome to do so.
