What is Reiki and why am I interested?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The practitioner uses channeled energy to treat the whole person - mind, body and spirit. Reiki combines the Japanese and Chinese word-characters of "rei" (spiritual) and "ki" (vital energy). One of the basic ideas held by those who practice Reiki is that this vital energy can be channeled to support the body's natural ability to heal itself, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).
Benefits
Reiki energy allows muscles to relax and increases blood flow to treated areas, which in turn quickens the healing process. Practitioners and clients report help with stress, headaches, insomnia, upset stomach, sprains and other minor conditions. Occasionally, miraculous results are reported. Reiki also promotes psychological healing, including release of anger, fear, worry, sadness and other unhealthy feelings, and replaces them with self-worth, confidence and tranquility.
What is a Session Like?
In a typical session, reiki is administered through the hands of a Reiki practitioner with the client lying fully clothed on a massage table. A session usually lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, but shorter sessions are also possible. The Reiki practitioner places his or her hands at locations around the head and shoulders, the abdomen and on the legs and feet. Tissue is not manipulated. The practitioner’s hands are simply held at each location, lightly touching or slightly away from the body. Reiki energy flows from the practitioner’s hands and into the client’s body and energy field. A Reiki session feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that surrounds and fills the client and includes feelings of relaxation, peace and well-being that also promote healing.
I understand that time is valuable and that commuting to an in-person session may not always be possible. Because of that, I offer phone sessions in addition to in-person sessions.
