What is Reiki and how can it benefit you?
“Rei” – Spiritual/Divine Universal Wisdom “Ki” – Life-force energy
The word Reiki translates to “spiritually guided life force energy”
This is the energy that flows through everyone, keeping us alive each day.
We are energetic beings, and life force energy or ki, flows within the physical body though pathways called meridians and moves between the body and the layers of the aura via swirling energy vortices known as chakras.
When this flow of life force energy is disrupted, blocked or constricted throughout any of these energetic systems, physical illness results.
Physical pain or illness nearly always has its roots in emotional issues. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field, raising the vibration of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This helps to remove energetic blockages and restore proper flow of life force, leading to increased vitality and wellness on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

What to Expect During a Session
During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands on the client while channeling the Universal Life Force energy. The client experiences deep relaxation during the session while the Reiki practitioner facilitates a flow of energy that restores balance and vitality to the client’s body, mind and spirit.
The recipient will be clothed during the entire session, and will comfortably lie on a massage table. The session can also be done with the recipient seated on a chair as physical issues dictate. I begin by scanning the body and aura with my hands a few inches above the body. This helps me to feel areas of energetic imbalance that need extra attention. After the scan, I place my hands on the body in various positions starting with the head and working down towards the feet. Hand placement is always safe and neutral. The treatment can also be tailored to an individual’s comfort level. If time allows, the recipient will turn over for a continued treatment on the back. The session will end with an “aura massage” as I work above the body again and smooth the energetic field and help ground the recipient’s energy. You will leave feeling calm, balanced, energized, healthy and vital!
