Reiki (Ray-Kee) is a Japanese technique for stress relief and relaxation that boosts the immune system and enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself. The technique was developed in Japan and is administered by the laying on of hands. It is based on the idea that a life force energy flows through us, and disruptions in this energy can lead to illness or stress. When your life energy is high, you’ll feel strong and confident, more relaxed and centered, and less likely to get sick. When it is low, you’ll often feel tired, and more easily affected by stress and less resistant to illness.
Reiki locates, releases and heals the body where trauma has been stored (or trapped). It quiets the mind, allowing the body to move into a meditative state. Clients express a feeling of balance, lightness, less fatigue and a return of energy.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A REIKI SESSION?
A Reiki treatment is a deeply relaxing experience. You remain fully clothed, covered with a blanket (or light sheet if you prefer). Lying on your back, the Practitioner uses their hands to lightly touch or hover over specific ares of your body. You may feel tingling or sleepiness as energy blocks are removed and energy flow improves. Calming music is played throughout the treatment. Most clients experience a sense of calm, similar to deep meditation, and many fall asleep.
HOW DO REMOTE REIKI SESSIONS WORK?
Distance/Remote Reiki Treatments are conducted via Zoom. Reiki works just as effectively at a distance as in person - because energy is not bound by space or time. Distance Reiki uses elements of both intentional thoughts, prayers and energy to balance the mind, body and spirit, supporting the body's natural ability to heal. Similar to in-person, you lie in a comfortable position on a bed or couch as calming music plays in the background. The session begins with a guided meditation, immediately followed by a 45 or 60 min Reiki treatment. Reiki is deeply calming and relaxing, often providing clarity, peace of mind and a renewed sense of purpose. It boosts the immune system, reduces chronic pain, depression and anxiety.
