What is Reiki?

So, what is it that I actually do?

I am a Reiki practitioner, yogi, meditator, teacher, learner and counselor, to name a few. I am Master level certified in 3 different Reiki modalities, certified as a Master Reiki teacher, as well as a meditation teacher and I am a master of all things Energy!

What is Reiki?

It is alternative medicine. It is energy healing. It is very similar to what acupuncture offers but without the needles. Reiki moves the energy in and around your body to help facilitate your body’s natural abilities to heal itself.

It is used for a ginormous amount of things: Stress, anxiety, depression, relaxation, pain management, nervous system disorders, trauma – both emotionally and physically, immune function, addiction, detoxing, before and after surgeries and cancer treatments, clearing negative energy and blocks, chakras – balancing, clearing, aligning, harmonizing, along with so many other things.

Reiki is used in conjunction with western medicine, not in lieu of it.

What is Reiki Not?

Reiki is Not a religion or based on any religious practice in any way, shape or form. Reiki is Not a miracle worker. Reiki is Not used instead of western medicine, therapy, doctors and/or treatments, but in conjunction with.

A session with me is completely individualized. It can last as little or as long as needed, although I generally offer a 60 or 90 minute session. We can focus our sessions to be as specific or as general as you want. It is done in my office space and can also be done virtually.

What happens in a Reiki Treatment?

When receiving a reiki treatment you lay on a massage table while fully clothed. I move my hands to certain areas of your body, focusing mostly on and around your chakra’s and then branching out from there. I tend to focus my sessions on a persons chakra’s and energy centers because I believe that is where our issues stem from and remain until cleared. Clear and balanced chakra”s allow for a persons chi, prana, ki, life force energy, vibes, etc (all the same thing) to re-energize, rejuvenate, and heal a persons physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. What are chakra’s, you ask? Watch for a future blog or two that are all about chakra’s!

Energy has to be able to move freely all throughout the body in order for all of the body functions to work as they are intended. When we have stuck energy or blocked areas throughout our body…….Everyone does!……it is much like a clot. Energy will not be able to move through or beyond that location until the “clot” can be dissolved or moved. The ways that a small blood clot can cause all kinds of issues throughout the body and hamper healing is the same way that stuck or blocked energy works in the body.

So, if I can’t see the energy, how do I even know its working?  Hmmmmmm, great question! More to come…
