What is Reiki

The word Reiki consists of two Japanese kanji:

Rei means spirit & Ki means energy. So Reiki means spiritual energy.

We are essentially talking about a holistic therapeutic method that works beneficially in the natural (self-healing) and in the spiritual (spiritual awakening) and in the energy field or otherwise auric field (psychosomatically).

Reiki is the healing energy that comes from the higher spiritual levels, that is, the universal aspect of energy, and the Ki is the energy that exists everywhere and leaks into every living organism.

Reiki energy, when it seeps into the physical body, it stimulates the body's capacity for self-healing, at the deepest levels, and clears emotional and mental blockages improving well-being. It cleanses the body of negative energies, balances our energy centers, bringing harmony to the mind, body, and spirit.

Our contact with Reiki opens a small window to look into the deeper levels of ourselves and rediscover faith and love. Oppressed emotions and negative thoughts that poison our existence come to light and are purified. The peace and love that Reiki brings to us coordinates us with universal love, so that we move away from negative patterns and behaviors that are an obstacle in our path. The therapy offered by Reiki is not only about the physical body. The symptoms of an illness can often come from stress, fear and anxiety of everyday life. We are jealous, we hate, we are angry in the slightest; we are nervous. All these emotional or even mental blockages, if not treated by ourselves, deplete our body's energy reserves and make us sick.

Everyone has the ability to heal themselves and help others heal. Universal energy flows within all of us. However, the flow of energy can be hindered in times of stress and illness. Reiki is a very simple but powerful method of treatment, in which, with the use of the hands, the obstacles disappear and the flow of energy is restored in the body. This activating force that revives and releases the potential that exists within us, this force exists in every living being on earth, to deal creatively with any issues that arise and to help assist you in life acting as a conduit of awareness.

“Reiki is the best vibration for helping someone to relax well and deeply. Relaxation is key to human health and recovery because it initiates our natural and innate healing abilities. It is when we are truly relaxed that true healing can take place.”

The Beginning of Reiki

 

Reiki is a healing technique that originated in Japan. It reached from Japan to the West, via California and Hawaii. The founder of Reiki is Dr. Mikao Usui, a professor of theology at Doskina University, who lived in 19th-century Japan. Dr. Usui spent the rest of his life healing the sick and teaching the system he named Reiki. After a few years, he came to the conclusion that people had to play an active role in their own treatment in order for the results to be long-term. Thus, he began to teach the five (5) Principles of Reiki. The purpose of these Principles was to help people adopt a positive spiritual and psychological attitude that would complement healing.

How Reiki Works

A typical reiki session lasts approximately an hour and a half. You will receive a 20 minute meet and greet introduction with me about the process and your individual expectations with answers to any questions you may have, setting forth your intentions addressing any symptoms you may have physical or emotional that you may like me to focus upon during your session.

If you are wearing any jewelry, I will ask you to remove them and you will lie down on my massage table that has an infrared crystal bio mat. I will cover you with a light blanket as soft melodic music plays in the background. You also have the preference of no music if you so prefer. I recommend closing your eyes for deeper relaxation, but it is not a must.

During your treatment I will move my hands around you in specific hand positions placing them either directly upon your body or just above you or just slightly touching upon you at times corresponding to the needs of your physical body, it's organs and seven chakras. The chakras are centers of energy concentration that pulsate in specific areas of the body. Reiki energy balances the chakras and the energy field that surrounds the body and relieves physical and emotional discomfort.

Each chakra is associated with specific glands and parts of the body, as well as with specific aspects of emotional and mental energy, from the basic instinct of survival to the search for knowledge. During each session I use crystals to help assist in your healing.

When your session is complete, we will take a few moments to allow in the grounding of your body with some water for you to drink and we will discuss your experience if you so desire.

"The most riveting truth. It‘s absolutely riveting. There is only you; there‘s nothing
like it. No comparison, no better no worse; no this nor that; how can you compare,
you can‘t. And then you can begin to see your mystical connection to life."

About Me

Isn’t it so interesting when we look back on our past experiences and how each and every one of them shapes us somehow?

Looking back when Reiki first came into my life seems like a few lifetimes ago, but it was right around the Millennium hype of 2000. I had been on a spiritual quest seeking the deeper answers to life throughout the 90’s and also embracing my personal healing journey. So it’s not surprising when at a channeled group meeting I attended, I sat beside a young girl as synchronicity happens; we began a conversation and connection that remained for many years afterwards. She is the one who recommended my first Reiki Master Teacher to me. It wasn’t “reiki” at that point, but for a massage session. This is interesting in itself as I have always and remain today extremely picky as to anyone touching me in bodywork. It seems that I was being pushed out of my comfort zone and had responded to this session, which changed me forever.

When Joanne put her hands on me for the massage and as my body surrendered to her loving touch, an awakening was taking place that I have no explanation for. I sat up alone in the room afterwards feeling completely different, I looked into the mirror at my eyes and saw I had changed, that the light in my eyes was shining so much brighter. Maybe I was seeing my true self for the first time? I was able to drive home and over the next weeks integrated this shift in energy and in sharing with Joanne she told me about the reiki in her hands. And I asked her to be my Reiki Master and teach me as soon as possible and now reiki has been an integral part of my life and energy for the past 20 years.

Reiki truly is a gift, a gift to live on a daily basis and a gift to pass on to another. It is pure unconditional love that is channeled from source energy. This universal life force energy can be brought into your awareness through training and over time with practice it becomes a part of your natural beingness. Reiki becomes a part of you, where the reiki energy is the wise teacher accessing your inner wisdom and healing path.

I have many students who after Reiki training find their path or their path finds them; their natural gifts align them to what brings them satisfaction, success and inner peace.

Reiki along with Human Design has brought me to living my purpose, and I honestly don’t know of any greater gift than this.
