REIKI
Reiki is the Japanese word meaning universal life energy.
It is a non-intrusive method of hands-on healing that taps into the energy referred to by philosophers and martial artists as “ki” in Japan, “chi” in China, and “prana” in India.
Many ancient cultures embraced the belief that life energy flowed through the body, deeply affecting our bodies, minds, and emotions. Current research strongly suggests that energy does extend throughout and beyond the physical body, and disruptions or imbalances in its flow correlate to physical, mental, and emotional illnesses.
The healing art of Reiki addresses these imbalances to support your good health and well-being. Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosing illness. Reiki is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, gently, and powerfully promoting balance among the body’s systems and the normal regenerative processes of the body and mind.
Reiki and Health Care
Used by a rapidly growing number of hospitals all over the world, Reiki complements medical treatment, natural therapies, and massage therapy. Reiki increases a caregiver’s ability to provide patient support and is easily practiced in all hospital environments from outpatient clinic to intensive care.
What a Typical Session is Like
Reiki energy is experienced during a non-invasive, hand on treatment while an individual relaxes fully clothed. A Reiki practitioner softly places their hands on (or over) the client in a series of standard positions developed to address the whole body. The infusion of Reiki energy facilitates and accelerates the body’s natural healing abilities.
The client relaxes in a softly lit room, on a massage table or chair for an hour or more while listening to gentle music and/or nature sounds. If a client is unable to get on a table, any seated position will work. It is recommended to remove restricting items such as glasses, shoes and belts during the session.
Similar to the benefits of ongoing Massage Therapy, Reiki Therapy also helps in the healthy maintenance of your body. I recommend monthly sessions to facilitate and support your good health!
