What is Reiki? 

Reiki in simple terms explained - Reiki is energy healing.  Every living thing consist of energy and through energy we are all connected, whether it be human, animal, plants, insects....etc

Firstly the human vessel consist of 4 separate bodies - the physical body, the emotional body, the mental body and the spiritual body.  Often what we don't understand, that our mental and emotional problems/trauma can often result in physical ailments and pains as your emotions attack the body physically.  Once you start working on healing the emotional body, as well as creating an environment for the physical body to heal (such as diet and exercise changes), you will experience healing within the physical body.  

Further more, the body consist of 7 main energy centers and when these energy centers are out of balance, certain illness or imbalances within the body occurs.  These energy centers consist of and we refer to them as Chakras:

1. The root chakra, or Muladhara, is located at the base of your spine. It provides you with a base or foundation for life, and it helps you feel grounded and able to withstand challenges. Your root chakra is responsible for your sense of security and stability.

    

2. The sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana, is located just below your belly button. This chakra is responsible for your sexual and creative energy. It’s also linked to how you relate to your emotions as well as the emotions of others.

    

3. The solar plexus chakra, or Manipura, is located in your stomach area. It’s responsible for confidence and self-esteem, as well as helping you feel in control of your life.

    

4. The heart chakra, or Anahata, is located near your heart, in the center of your chest. It comes as no surprise that the heart chakra is all about our ability to love and show compassion.

    

5. The throat chakra, or Vishuddha, is located in your throat. This chakra has to do with our ability to communicate verbally.

    

6. The third eye chakra, or Ajna, is located between your eyes. You can thank this chakra for a strong gut instinct. That’s because the third eye is responsible for intuition. It’s also linked to imagination.

    

7. The crown chakra, or Sahasrara, is located at the top of your head. Your Sahasrara represents your spiritual connection to yourself, others, and the universe. It also plays a role in your life’s purpose.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique brought from Japan to the West in 1937 and has been practiced with great success since. Reiki is the art of “laying on of hands” in order to heal. Reiki is not a religion but is rather a set of techniques based on the ancient Tibetan healing methodologies that allows one to tap into the limitless source of this life force energy to heal.

The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”.

Reiki is the life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki Practitioners understand that everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in themselves and help others. It is believed that a person’s “ki” or energy should be strong and free flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance and then illness.

As Mother Theresa said...

“There is a light in this world. A healing spirit much stronger than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force. Where there is suffering and too much pain. And suddenly the spirit will emerge through lives of ordinary people, and answer in extraordinary ways. God speaks to the silence of the heart and we listen….”

What to expect from a Reiki Session?

A session is usually 90 to 120 minutes long. A discussion/assessment will usually take place during an initial session with a Reiki Practitioner.  After gathering medical history, they will describe the session to the client, give the client an opportunity to discuss any particular problems or issues they are experiencing and ask them what they are hoping to achieve from their session.

For the actual session, the client will rest comfortably on a massage table on their back with their shoes removed. Reiki can be performed with the client sitting comfortably in a chair as well. Unlike massage therapy, no articles of clothing are removed and a client is always fully clothed; loose, comfortable clothing is suggested. A session can either be hands-on, where a Practitioner will apply a light touch during the session, or hands-off where they will hold their hands slightly above your body. If a client prefers not to be touched they can indicate this to the practitioner before they begin.

The session will then proceed with the Reiki Practitioner moving through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the person’s head or feet. A recipient of Reiki might feel a warming sensation or a tingling during the session or nothing at all but sheer relaxation. The session should be very pleasant, relaxing and invigorating.

I am also incorporating crystals in some treatments.

Crystal healing is the ability of crystals to help heal or at least ameliorate both physical and non-physical ailments. Crystal healers believe this works because most crystals have their origins from deep within the earth, and as they rise up to the surface they bring its powerful healing energies with them.  Each Crystal vibrates at it's own frequency, which matches the frequency of each body part, to bring healing and balance.

Reiki energy amplifies the healing abilities in crystals therefore incorporating healing crystals in a treatment, the power of the crystals is strengthening through Reiki amplifying the strength of the treatment.
