What is Reiki, How does it work?

How does it work, what do we do?

Reiki is the peaceful channeling of healing energy. The energy comes through the practitioner to the client in a subtle, calming manner that may or may not be immediatelly apparent. The energy goes to where it is needed without any specific instruction or intention. You do not need to have ailments to benefit from Reiki, although it is often looked to for healing of physical and mental issues. It assists in the alignment of energy in the body and promotes well-being by augmenting your own energy.

I prefer to sit on the floor with calming music playing and have the client lay on a draped pad, much like massage. It is a very peaceful environment that lets time disappear. I can also send Reiki energy remotely without being physically present with the client.

With relaxing breath and in a state of meditation, hands are applied to the areas of the chakras or suspended above them. It is totally safe and comforting. Reiki positions are addressed in connection with the issues and client’s requests, and flow from head to toe. Clients report a very peaceful result and for days after, are amazed at the healing that can occur. In many cases, complete relief from physical and mental ailments can be accomplished, and this may occur in one or a few sessions. It is not habit forming, but the safe and peaceful result is so unique that clients are often drawn to it on a repeated basis. One session may be all that is required, or several may be of greater benefit. It is totally up to the client.
