Reiki - Master of The Usui System of Natural Healing
Reiki is a safe and gentle form of hands on energy healing ( universal energy) in which my hands are placed lightly touching the fully clothed client.
Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. I believe that everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in themselves and help others. When a person’s energy is strong and free flowing, the body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance.
A Reiki session can help ease tension and stress and can help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing and balance on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. A session is pleasant and deeply relaxing and is often utilized for one’s personal wellness.
Medical studies show that Reiki may reduce stress, lower blood pressure, reduce pain, raise red blood cell count, reduce insomnia, and calm anxiety.
What to Expect During A Session
A session is usually 60 minutes long. You will rest comfortably on a massage table on their back with your shoes removed. Reiki can be performed sitting comfortably in a chair as well.
Unlike massage therapy, no articles of clothing are removed and you are always fully clothed; loose, comfortable clothing is suggested. ( The exception would be when Reiki is being received during an Integrative Relaxation Massage.)
A session can either be hands-on, where I will apply a light touch during the session, or hands-off where I will hold my hands slightly above your body. If you prefer not to be touched you can indicate this to me before we begin.
I’ll move through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the person’s head or feet. You may feel a warming or tingling sensation, you may feel as if you a tingling during the session or nothing at all but sheer relaxation.
