Reiki is a Japanese technique of energy healing that involves placing hands on or above the body in different positions that help stabilize and support a person’s biofield. The idea is that by adjusting and attuning our energy bodies, we are able to bring the physical body back into health, harmony and balance.

Reiki is different from other forms of energy healing because it involves an attunement process that links the practitioner with a lineage of Reiki Masters. This process involves opening up the practitioner’s energy channels through a series of rituals to attune them with this lineage.

Therefore, the Reiki practitioner is not using their own energy during the session, but rather channeling it from this higher source and allowing it to flow through them. This is very important as it allows only the purest, high vibrational energy through, which then self-directs and distributes itself where needed.

Reiki is a complementary form of therapy that can benefit anyone in need of mind/body healing. Many hospitals now offer Reiki as a supplemental therapy to patients, recognized for its verifiable effects on stabilizing and calming the nervous system. Studies have shown that Reiki sessions help patients to heal faster with less pain and can help alleviate stress throughout the process.

During a Reiki session, your job is to simply relax and allow the healing energy to support you. Unlike a massage, Reiki doesn’t involve changing out of your clothing and involves light touch as we are primarily working with the energy body which is a couple inches above the physical body.

Sessions are 60 minutes long, during which you will relax on a massage table while I perform the Reiki energy healing. Singing bowls and sacred herbs are sometimes used as a complementary part of your session. Some people experience sensations or visions during the treatment, while others just take a nap! There’s no right or wrong experience, every person’s biofield interacts with the energy differently.

The great thing about Reiki is that it continues working long after the session is over, whether you physically feel it or not. The session itself is like an attunement process, and the days and weeks that follow are your body’s way of adjusting to this new energetic frequency.
