Is like a warm, energetic hug

​

Mikao Usui developed Reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, Reiki is used all over the world to complement other forms of wellness modalities.

​

Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, which improves the flow and balance of your energy to support healing, growth and transformation. Reiki practitioners act as a vessel between you and the source of the universal energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you and is naturally directed towards any place of byosen (disharmony.)

​

Reiki can be received why lying on a mat or massage table. I like to offer Holy Fire® Reiki to students while they are in Restorative Poses. We use the assistance of props to allow your body to become fully supported, allowing your muscles, fascia and connective tissues to surrender. This encourages you to easily travel beyond your physical body to tap into your energetic body, which brings you to a state of total relaxation. 

​

The biggest question to pop up is "What should I expect?" 

 

The truth is, everyone's experience is different and every session is different. People feel many different sensations such as coolness, heat, magnetic, achiness or calmness. Emotions are sometimes brought to the surface so they can be released. Sometimes clients cry while others laugh uncontrollably. Some clients see bright, vivid colors. Others receive messages or visualizations. Reiki often gives you whatever you are seeking or needing. It's intuitive in nature. 

 

Something else to note is that a miraculous thing happens as soon as you decide to receive Reiki. I've heard from many clients that as soon as we book a session, they immediately feel a sense of peace, calm, relief, as well as receive signs and messages, as if their being is preparing for the session. As if the Reiki is already working through them.

 

You may know, I believe intention is everything, so by setting the intention to open ourselves to receive Reiki, by taking that first step towards healing, we open the door, inviting it in. There is nothing you need to do to prepare for your session, other than being open to the experience.
