All About Reiki

What is Reiki?

The Japanese word “reiki” (pronounced Ray-Key) is broken down into two components-REI-universal energy, KI-life force energy. Reiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body’s innate healing ability.

What happens during a Reiki session?

Surrounded by soothing music and a peaceful atmosphere, the client, fully clothed, lies on the treatment table. The practitioner’s hands remain in a stationary position, gently on or slightly above the body through several positions from head to toe. Some practitioners use the prescribed hand positions, while others prefer to use a more intuitive approach. The private areas are worked on above the body; there is no manipulation of the skin or tissue. Reiki is not a massage.

What can I expect to feel during a Reiki session?

Each client’s needs are very unique and the benefits of Reiki are completely individual and will vary from session to session. The most common experience is the feeling of complete surrender, a sense of overall peacefulness. It is not uncommon for a client to be relaxed and fall asleep during a session. Many individuals have reported feeling cold, hot, or an overall tingling sensation, while others have felt the need to cry or laugh. Whatever the sensations, it is important to relax and allow the body to embrace the emotions and energy it will experience during a session.

How often do I need a Reiki session?

Reiki is a technique used for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect.
