Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that promotes balance in Body, Mind and Spirit. Reiki heals by connecting, aligning, clearing , cleaning and balancing the body's energy centers and removing blockages. The energy centers are otherwise known as Chakras. The chakras system in intricately connected with the endocrine system and are associated with specific glands, physical, and spiritual regulators of the endocrine system. Imbalances in the chakra system or glandular bodies can disrupt your system. Everything in the universe is made up of electromagnetic energy and everything carries frequencies. The chakra system has been known about and practiced for thousands of years. A Reiki session allows the Practitioner to direct Healing Life Force into the clients body. A practitioner acts as a conduit for healing by cleaning, clearing and balancing the chakra system. Releasing any energies that no longer serve you. The sessions help spark your own life-force and help release stress and anxiety in a healthy way and integrate all that you have learned in a peaceful, relaxing way.
What Happens During a Session?
The session begins with a sage smudging or if you are not fond of the smell of burning sage, a singing bowl will be used to clear away energies brought with you to the session. You will step over the sage/bowl into the present moment. Open to experience the healing Reiki power. A few minutes will be spent in conversation to help me learn more about your needs and to give me some guidance in your session. You are fully clothed and will then lie comfortably on a massage table. Or if a client is unable to lay on a table, there is a comfortable reclining chair that can be used for the session. Reiki is delivered by a simple placing of hands on the body, above the body or a few feet from the body. The hands are cupped and placed in areas to concentrate the flow of energy. Sometimes crystals, singing bowls and drums will be used to enhance the energy in the healing session.
What Do I Do After a Reiki Session?
Rest, drink plenty of water and honor yourself. If you need to sleep, spend some time alone, or journal, then do it. Be kind and gentle to yourself. You have taken a step towards self-care so listen to your body and soul and do what it needs to find peace, harmony and balance.
