Reiki Therapy

Why Reiki?

Reiki is a complementary health approach in which reiki trained practitioners place their hands on or just above different areas of the body. It’s based on an Eastern medicine, developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900's in Japan, based on the belief that living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality. The word reiki is derived from the Japanese word rei meaning "universal", and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. 

Energy blocks impede this innate flow of energy, causing not only health problems, but also negative life circumstances. Reiki practitioners focus on sensing energy blocks and moving the energy for the greatest good of the client using their hands to deliver energy to the body, improving the flow and balance of a persons energy support healing and wellbeing. 

Reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments to improve emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. 

Reiki Sessions

A typical Reiki session will last between 30 minutes and an hour. 

While most people feel the effects of reiki right away, others may feel the impacts after their session. Common feelings include tingling, warmth, and deep relaxation. (You may even fall asleep because you become so relaxed and wake up from your session with a new sense of awareness, clarity, and/or connection.) Some say they feel as though a hand is touching a part of their body, when, in fact, it is not.

Each person is very different in how they feel and experience the reiki energy. This practice will also continue to shift and change and feel slightly different every time, similar to a meditation.

Reiki is typically all hands-off, however, in my lineage, we touch the back of the head and the feet. Clients are always fully clothed, and I will often put a blanket over them so they can feel warm and relaxed. Sometimes when drawn to a specific area I may touch other areas of the body, like the knees, shoulders, or arms.
