What is Reiki?
Citing directly from the Cleveland Clinic website because it is well written and has links to more information if you wish to explore further.
“Reiki, from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things.
Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch, or without a touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.
Today, Reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.
What are Reiki Health Benefits?
Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being. Reiki support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis. It also can:
- Bring on a meditative state, thus shifting from sympathetic to parasympathetic nervous system.
- Foster tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.
- Stimulate your body’s immune system.
- Promote natural self-healing.
- Relieve pain and tension.
What Happens During a Reiki Session?
Reiki can be offered in-person or as a distance session. It works very well in both situations because the energy isn’t bound by time and space. Distance Reiki sessions have been offered since the inception of Reiki, hundreds of years ago.
During in-person Reiki session we will spend a brief check-in time and then you’ll lie on a massage table or a reclining chair fully clothed, as I gently place my palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. Unlike other therapies, there is no pressure, massage, or manipulation during a Reiki session. I do not use any essential oils or candles.
During a distance Reiki session, we can connect via phone or video platform such as Zoom. Prior to our session I will sent you an email explaining the process. Then, during the session, after a brief check in, we will turn off the video (if used) and you will relax and receive Reiki. I check back with you after the session has been completed, either by calling you back or by turning on the audio and video.
