What is Reiki & Energy Work?
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on, subtle energy healing therapy that has roots in ancient Japanese culture. Reiki is not affiliated with any religion or religious practice. Reiki cleanses and balances the energy system in the body which promotes natural healing and restoration.
The word "Reiki" comes from the Japanese words (rei) meaning "Universal" and (ki) meaning "Life Energy". It was re-discovered in Japan in the mid 1800s by Dr. Mikao Usui. It was brought to the US in 1937 but it has been around for thousands of years.
Reiki is not a replacement for conventional medicine, however it pairs very nicely when the two are combined.
During each Reiki session I will connect to universal life energy and act as a conduit for healing energy to pour through my hands and into your energetic system. This energy will penetrate into your molecular make-up to help increase the vibration of your cells to vibrate at a higher more optimal frequency for healing.
I work with the 7 main chakras that run up your spine to keep you in optimal physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and overall well-being. A chakra is an energy center that is a vortex of swirling energy and light that is not seen to the naked eye. Each chakra holds a different color, location, and aspect of your life.
When you experience any type of trauma or negative interaction, one or more of your chakras will become unbalanced. When a chakra is unbalanced, it could be either too large or too small in size in comparison to the others, or they could vary in shade ranging from vibrant in color to dull. This can cause physical dis-ease to manifest in the body if it is not addressed and rebalanced. Reiki helps to rebalance and cleanse each chakra to achieve a better quality of life.
*Reiki or any form of energy healing is not meant to be used as a substitute to any medical attention. It is meant to be used in conjunction with medical care for optimal healing. If you have a medical concern, please contact your health care physician.*
What to Expect During Treatment
Prior to the start of the session we will have a brief conversation about problem areas in your life whether it be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. You will lay on a massage table fully clothed, you will be guided through breathing exercises while soothing music is playing in the background.
In a series of different hand positions, I will place/hover my hands on/over areas of your body to evenly distribute Reiki healing energy. During the session you may experience a multitude of sensations; warming, cooling, tingling, waves of rushing energy, or deep relaxation. In addition, you may also experience an emotional release, you may see colors, shapes, or symbolic images, or you may have a sense of feeling "nothing at all".
After the session is complete, we will discuss areas of dense energy that I discovered or felt intuitively during the session. Afterward it is encouraged to drink lots of water to help flush out your system!
