What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient laying on of hands healing method that is used to balance energy flow throughout the body. Reiki is a natural healing system that uses frequency energy to treat the person with physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. Reiki is holistic, it works on the body, mind and spirit by stimulating a person’s own natural healing abilities. Reiki is the highest and most profound vibration of life. Reiki is Divine in origin, it allows us all to become one with all things alive in our world. Reiki is pure, loving and totally unconditional. Reiki is a spiritual healing art with it’s roots in Japanese origin, reiki was rediscovered by a Japanese scholar and monk named Mikao Usui In 1922. He believed it to be the ancient healing method of all the world’s greatest healers, including Jesus and Buddha.
REI- means Universal Omnipresent-present everywhere at the same time. Esoterically REI means Spiritual Consciousness, the omniscient wisdom from God or the higher self.
KI- is the non physical vitality that gives life to all living things. Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of KI energy and how it impacts our lives and well-being.
KI energy can be activated for the purpose of healing. When ones Life Force Energy is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and when it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
What happens during a Reiki session?
At your first visit you should arrive 15 minutes early so that the practitioner can go over the session with you, and answer any questions the client may have. The practitioner will ask the client about any medical issues, chronic illnesses or injuries the client may have, also what the client specifically wishes to be treated for during the session. Please wear loose fitting comfortable clothes and refrain from wearing jewelry, oils or perfumes. Reiki is best when held in a peaceful atmosphere. All healing sessions are performed in my home, where I have dedicated a sacred beautiful, peaceful and safe space for the healings. The practitioner would have their client get comfortable on a reiki table or chair fully clothed. With the clients permission and preference the practitioner can add to the session crystals, aromatherapy, candles etc… When the client is comfortable and ready the practitioner places their hands lightly on or above (depending on the clients preference) specific areas of the head, torso, limbs etc for about 2 to 5 mins. When the practitioners hands are on or above the clients body, the transfer of energy takes place. At this time the practitioners hands may be warm, cold, pulsating or tingling. All the hand positions are held until the practitioner senses that the energy flow has dissipated, the practitioner then removes their hands and moves on over to a different part of the clients body.
What does Reiki feel like?
All reiki sessions are different for the client and practitioner, sometimes clients may not feel anything at all. Reiki works whether you feel it or not, reiki is intelligent energy that will go where it is needed. Reiki works in alignment with Divine Will and knows where to go/flow. On the other hand, most of my clients have experienced the following:
Tingling.
Waves of love, comfort and high vibrational beings and deceased loved one’s around them.
Emotional clearings.
Waves or pulsations throughout the body.
Colour and light.
Past lives memories resurfacing and visions.
Shaking.

Warmth / heat.
Coldness.
Pins and needles.
Feelings of extra hands on the body.
Numbness.
Hot flashes.
Goosebumps and chills.
Messages from higher-self or guides.
Throbbing.
Vibrations throughout the body.
Raising and floating sensations.
Buzzing and electrical sparks.
Itching.

Sleepy, yawning, falling asleep, snoring.
Deep relaxation, calm, peace, uplifted, high vibrational vibes etc…
How many Reiki sessions do I need?
Honestly anytime reiki calls to you! I self treat with reiki everyday, it has become a daily ritual for me. To remove deep blocks in your energy system three to four reiki sessions over a ten to fourteen days are encouraged and recommended, then once a week or once every two weeks until the issues are resolved. Just with your first session you will begin to notice some improvement. Health issues that are long standing usually clear up in five to six visits, depending on the clients well-being. Reiki treatments are excellent for self-care and helps you to maintain holistic balance.
