What is Reiki?

Simply and scientifically explained – Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is used by the laying of hands while a powerful, yet subtle energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into the client. It is this energy that creates the relaxation and healing effect. The word Reiki comes from Japanese Kanji and is comprised of two Kanji, Rei and Ki. Rei means Universal and Ki means Life Force Energy, which is in all living things. Ki is responsive to our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Reiki can never do harm – it respects free will. This also means – the more one surrenders to the healing power of Reiki, the more one can be healed on a deeper and more profound level. Reiki heals the aura and works in tandem with the chakras to promote energetic healing in one’s body. Chakras are defined as the seven main energy centers in the body that look like flower petal discs that move subtle energy throughout the body. When the chakras are moving too slow, this can cause blockages in certain parts of the body where this is occurring and could eventually manifest into physical blocks and/or pain.

Each session is unique but some things I have had the pleasure to witness include:

  • Healing of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic blocks and/or pain

  • Ascension of self + connection to one’s spirit

  • Connection to authentic self and higher levels of consciousness

  • Restoring balance and harmony within the body

  • Breaking old cycles/patterns that no longer serve

  • Creating space to allow in forgiveness, compassion + love of self and others

  • Cultivating mindfulness and body/mind/spirit awareness

  • Healing limiting belief programming to call in abundance, magnetism + prosperity

  • Stress reduction + relaxation

  • Improved sleep

There is so much that energy healing can do, because life force energy is at the core of all things, it’s benefits are boundless. By removing blocks in our energetic system, a healthy flow of life force energy is created, thus restoring health, vitality and wellness to the whole body. Reiki is of the highest vibration, the natural state of us all, our true nature - through the experiences of our lives and the influence of the lives of others on our lives, we can forget our true nature. Reiki helps in restoring our true nature and gives us the empowerment within to live a life of fullness and joy.
