It is based on the idea that all living things have a special energy flowing through them called life force energy. When your life energy is high, you'll feel strong and confident, be more relaxed and centered and less likely to get sick. When it is low, you'll often feel tired, be more easily affected by stress and less resistant to illness. Reiki is not a religion.

Since, an issue in one area will inevitably affect the whole body, the use of Reiki is best applied to the whole-body, to cleanse and revitalize the complete system. The Reiki practitioner can bring an energetic awareness to the body thus allowing it to relax and improve energetic flow, healing itself.

Who is Reiki for? Reiki is for everyone. It can assist with the healing process whether it be mental, emotional or physical.

Reiki is also particulary helpful before an operation, as it produces harmony and calms the receiver. It also accelerates the healing process, causing operation incisions to heal more quickly. This is because the Reiki energy is intense and the body draws in what it needs.

What are the benefits of Reiki for Addictions (alcohol, caffeine, etc.)?
The reason that Reiki works for addictions is because they affect parts of your physical body and your brain functions. Reiki is able to heal all of you at once. Let's say that your hair has started falling out and your nose is bleeding and not to mention the chemical effects that drugs have on your brain. Reiki can heal all of that at once. It helps with apparent physical problems and the things that go on inside your brain. Because it is a mental thing a lot of the reason that people become addicted to substances in the first place is because they are under a lot of stress. They have a lot of stress or a lot of problems with managing life and emotional problems. Reiki can heal all of these things. It can work together to heal everything that was wrong. It also can heal the physical things that have resulted from the addictions. It can heal the root of the problem and the problems that that problem has caused.

What are the benefits of Reiki for during/after pregnancy? Pregnancy is a time of changes, some eagerly embraced, and others less welcome. Reiki is a wonderful way to relax, increase your energy and relieve discomfort during your pregnancy. It can help you cope with stress and fatigue, and ease aches and pains. It can: Relieve pain in your muscles and joints that must support extra weight; increase flexibility, making it easier for your body to adjust to additional weight; relieve abdominal soreness caused by an active baby’s kicks; help with fears and worries, provide better sleeping patterns, bring peace and calm, ease constipation, gas, and heartburn as general relaxation stimulates intestinal movement; reduce excess fluid retention by gently pushing fluid into circulation where it can be eliminated; slow the progress of varicose veins as enhanced circulation lowers pressure on bulging veins; relieve headaches caused by tension or constipation. Reiki is also extremely beneficial to help new mothers with the post-natal depression.

Life has the potential to be a never-ending process of unfoldment, growth and increasing value. By being open to the enriching possibilities that Reiki can create in our lives, we develop the habit of being ready to take that next step, to learn new skills and to allow the healthy changes that bring an increasing level of meaning into everything we do.

The body has an amazing ability to heal itself when given the opportunity.

YOUR SESSION

In preparation for a Reiki session, in order to optimize the benefits of Reiki, you may want to fast for several hours prior to the appointment. Increased water intake is also recommended.  You should avoid consuming caffeinated beverages or high amounts of sugar within the 24 hour period prior to your appointment. You should also wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing and jewelry should be minimized.  Feel free to bring any artifact or token that you may feel assists you with focus and relaxation such as a crystal, rock, feather etc. Specific music is played to assist with the session process.

Sometimes Reiki releases negative energy that manifests itself by making you need to use the bathroom. Tell the Reiki master if you need to take a bathroom break during the Reiki session.

Most clients feel very good, refreshed and rejuvenated after their Reiki session. However some clients do not have such a good, immediate response. Depending on what is going on with you, there may be a period of time, post session, where they feel tired or out of sorts.

Although this is instigated by the Reiki session, it is not due to the Reiki itself. As our bodies shift from a point of imbalance to balance there may be a period of time where the body does what it needs to do to seek that equilibrium. Sometimes this is known as a “healing crisis.”  If this occurs (it is rare) it does not typically last for a prolonged period and subsequently there is a very discernable sense of release and clearing that occurs. Although that clearing process may be minimally uncomfortable, it is very healthy to promote this shift from stagnation to movement.  Session outcome can be optimized by following the pre-session suggestions and making sure that post session, you allow time to relax and process what has occurred. Additionally, it has been found that water (clear water – not just any kind of beverage) helps encourage the process of clearing.

Harmonizing Chakras

The balancing of the energy centers (chakras) with Reiki is very effective. Each chakra reflects an aspect of personal growth. If we have a block in the energy flow of our chakras, this may lead to an imbalance and to a mental, spiritual or physical disorder. With the help of Reiki you can harmonize, or balance out an excess or shortage of energy in your chakras.

I begin my reiki sessions by working from crown to root chakras and like to incorporate crystals. They help balance the Chakras. When one (or more) of the chakra is blocked and the energy does not flow harmoniously through them, or it is wide open, it will result in imbalance that is manifested in all areas of life.

The first or base chakra is at the base of the spine. I use a red stone between your legs to balance physical energy, motivation and practicality, and to promote a sense of reality.

The second or sacral chakra is in the lower abdomen, below the naval. I use an orange stone here to balance creativity and to release stress and blocks in your life that prevent enjoyment.

The third or solar plexus chakra is close to the bottom of the ribcage. I use a yellow stone in this position to clear your thoughts, reduce anxiety and improve confidence.

The fourth or heart chakra is in the center of the chest. I use a green stone here to balance your relationship with others and the world, to increase calm and create a sense of direction in life.

The fifth chakra is at the throat. I use a light blue stone here to ease communication difficulties, express yourself and bring peacefulness.

The sixth is the brow chakra in the center of the forehead. I use a indigo stone here to increase understanding, access ideas and promote intuitive skills and memory.

The seventh chakra is the crown, situated just a little way above the top of the head. A violet stone placed in this position integrates and balances all aspects of the self - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
