reiki
what is reiki?
Reiki is a type of energy healing. It originated in Japan in the late 1800′s with Dr. Mikau Usui. The word “Reiki” is of Japanese origin and refers to the Universal Life Force. The name originates from the Japanese concepts of REI (spirit) and KI (life force, energy). In a Reiki session universal healing energy is passed through the practitioner’s hands resting lightly on or just over the recipient.
Physical or emotional trauma can cause energetic blockages in the body. Over time, these blockages can lead to illness or dis-ease. Reiki works to remove these blocks, much like accupuncture or accupressure, restoring the flow of energy to the body to reduce pain & stress, speed healing, and enable relaxation & overall well-being.

Reiki is growing in popularity & is now being offered in some major hospitals & hospice facilities as part of their palliative care. Reiki is not an alternative treatment for medical issues but an adjunctive therapy that can help support healing and increase a feeling of well being.
what to expect in a reiki session
A reiki session involves a client sitting comfortably in a chair or lying on a table fully clothed. The practitioner may choose to include music, crystals, essential oils or sound instruments if they feel guided. A table session typically lasts about 60 minutes while a chair session can last anywhere from 15-30 minutes. A properly certified practitioner can conduct in-person as well as distance sessions.
Recipients report feeling relaxed, centered, grounded, refreshed and energized, among others, following a session.
