Reiki Therapy

What is Reiki energy healing?

• Reiki means “Universal Life” – our vital energy life force. It is a gentle spiritually guided healing energy source naturally available in the universe and all beings. Thus, it is not affiliated with any religion and religious practices and beliefs.
• It was an ancient healing technique that was rediscovered and developed in 1922 by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk, and was brought to the west in 1937 by one of his students, Hawayo Takata.
• It flows, targets and charges with positive energy the affected biofields around and within the body that could be dormant, stagnant, imbalanced or blocked due to physical injury and emotional pain or trauma.
• The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) of the National Institute of Health (NIH) describes Reiki as complementary and alternative practice that uses recognized energy fields or biofields to affect health.
• The application of integrative approaches to improve health and wellness across the U.S is widespread today. This complementary modality has become increasingly popular among nurses, doctors, and holistic care providers. Hospitals and hospices across the U.S are offering Reiki as a standard part of hospital care, as it can be used in combination with all other medical and therapeutic techniques.
• As Reiki is simple and easy to learn, anyone can learn it whether for self-healing or give healing to others. Since it so subtle, gentle and safe, it can be given to infants, children and elderly as well as pets.

How does it work?

• Pure Reiki healing energies have high and healthy frequency and strength. The energy activation between Reiki and practitioner occurs energetically through the process of placements (aka attunements) and ignitions, which takes place during the class.
• Once activated, the ‘universal energy’ flows through the practitioner’s biofields (energy centers and pathways) and channels the Reiki energy during treatment. With its own inherent spiritual wisdom, Reiki allows, guides and directs its flow to the areas in the body where it is most needed.
• Reiki practitioner does not direct nor influence the outcome of the treatment, but his or her role simply is to accept, receive, allow and channel the flow of the beautiful Reiki energy to the patient.
• Reiki practitioner does not diagnose conditions nor do they prescribe or perform medical treatment, prescribe substances nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional, and it does not take the place of medical care.

What to expect before, during and after Reiki session?

• The session is neither body massage nor physical therapy. The practitioner places hands lightly on or over a patient’s fully clothed body to facilitate the flow of Reiki energy.
• During and after the session, it is normal to experience some type of physical discomfort, uneasiness, tingling sensations, and overly challenging emotions and feelings as Reiki clears blockages within the body. When this happens, let the practitioner know.  Each patient reacts differently to Reiki; therefore, expect yours to be unique and different from the others.
• To gain the most benefits from your Reiki energy therapy experience, below are recommended “to-do” preparation.
• To experience the maximum benefit of your visit, as this is your “me-time session”, recommend come to your session without your small children or pets unless your child is the client.

Prior to the session:

• To eliminate any distractions during your “me time”, we recommend coming to your session without small children or pets, unless the child is the client.

• Eat and hydrate – Satisfy hunger 2 hours before the session to eliminate potential distraction coming from an empty stomach during the session. Drink lots of water – remember water is a good conductor of energy.

• Turn cell phones off – this is “all about you” time. Relax and reflect – take at least 30 minutes to get comfortable – tune in and pay attention to what your body is telling you. Notice thoughts and feelings and any physical sensations, no matter how fleeting.  Reflect on what you would like to share with your practitioner.

• Get comfortable – wear comfortable clothes. Wear or bring socks to wear to avoid your feet getting cold since you will be laying down during the session.  Use the restroom before the session.

• Set your Intentions – this is the major key in the REIKI energy healing process. Give yourself permission to be “OPEN” to what you are about to receive and to allow the REIKI energy to flow and heal.

• Don’t judge the outcome. Whatever will be, will be.

After your session:

• Reflect, and integrate – As most patients’ fall into a deep nice sleep you may find yourself very relaxed and ‘maybe’ disoriented when wakened up – this is normal.
• Beneficial effects and/or changes may occur as soon as the session is over. After you leave the premises, find a quiet place to possibly meditate or lie down or maybe take a walk or do whatever you need to do to stay relaxed and comfortable. Try not to book or schedule anything after the session. Allow and embrace the feeling of centeredness, or whatever sensations or feelings you may experience.
• Journal your Reiki experience; thoughts, feelings and sensations, etc.
• Hydrate – Be sure to drink 1-2 glasses of water, or electrolytes-enhanced water after the session. Drinking lots of fluids not only prevent dehydration, but also aids in flushing out toxins out of the body.
• Eat – It is normal to feel hungry after the session. Have a nice healthy meal as it helps restore energy and ground the body. If you find yourself craving for sweets, choose dark chocolate, as it is healthier and very grounding.

Sessions are combination of consultations and treatments, which typically takes 60 to 90 minutes in length.  Below are the things that will transpire at the start of your session;

• Fill out pre-treatment questionnaire
• Explanation of what to expect during and after treatment
• Pre-treatment meditation – energy clearing/centering
• Reiki treatment
• Post-treatment recovery
• Post treatment evaluation – go over your experience and plan for course treatment if necessary

It is recommended to have follow-up treatment sessions to fully address dis-ease or ailments, as the patient’s ability to sustain and maintain sound and healthier mind, body and spirit requires regular ‘energy tune-ups.’

Why Reiki therapy may be good for you?

• The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health approved Reiki therapy for pain relief.  Studies show Reiki activates the ‘parasympathetic” nervous system to heal the body and mind.  It is a great thing, as our bodies can only self-heal if our nervous system is balanced.
• Creates, promotes, restores harmony and happy balance in all areas of existence; the mind, body and spirit, which bring about a more peaceful state of being, and a stable and enhanced quality of life.
• Offers soothing and calming influence to the mind, which supports sound disposition and choices, as we deal with life’s daily stresses and challenges.
• Restores the connection and flow of energy centers and pathways, as it dissolves and clears energy blocks that promote and sustain balance.
• Triggers and accelerate the body’s natural healing abilities; help and promote deep relaxation, release stress, tension, depression and anxiety.
• Assists the body in cleansing itself, as it purges out of toxins.
• Helps support, maintain and sustain healthy immune system.
• Aids better restful sleep.
• Awakens your quest for spiritual growth and evolution
